BBB’s comprehensive renovation and rooftop addition has recharged MIT’s historic Building E52 for reinvigorated academic use and institute-wide conferencing.
Prominently located on the Charles River, the 6-story building constructed in 1938 houses administrative suites for the Sloan School of Management, the Department of Economics, and an Institute conference center in the former home of the Faculty Club. To improve a building that was challenged by deep floor plates, low ceilings, and warren-like layouts, the design incorporates abundant daylight, glass, and new communicating stairs that provide clear circulation routes throughout the building.
