On-Campus Free Parking (These parking lots are free after 5pm)

Due to the never-ending construction, Sloan's Hermann Garage is only
accessable via Main Street. It is a small garage without a gate, and
directly under the Sloan library. Another option is the Amherst Street/E51
lot.

All other MIT lots require permits after hours.

The closest public parking
is Kendall Center Green Garage, next to the Marriott Hotel. The entrance is
90 Broadway Street. For other parking options, see
