The MIT Alumni Lounge on the Infinite Corridor begins an important new chapter in the story of the Institute’s
graduates and how they have helped to shape MIT’s efforts
to make a better world for more than 160 years. This dynamic
new space and its placement along the Institute’s most
populous point of daily activity symbolically honors those
contributions.
We now seek partners who understand how meaningful
and historic this opportunity is. Through your generosity,
you will be fulfilling the ultimate vision for the MIT Alumni
Lounge on the Infinite Corridor: to secure and strengthen
the legacy and future of MIT’s Association of Alumni and
Alumnae.
Located at 10-100, adjacent to Memorial Lobby and steps away from the entrance to Killian Court, the Lounge serves as a new landmark for the campus’s thousands of students, faculty, staff, alumni, and visitors. Across the hall is an eye-catching digital display with high-definition, touch-screen technology to engage MIT’s alumni community and provide information about MIT Alumni Association benefits and programming.
The Lounge's light-filled, streamlined design and flexible walls offers visitors the option of establishing one open, airy space or enabling more privacy by creating two rooms. On one side is a designated visiting area with comfortable furniture. The other side side has a dedicated meeting space with a conference table and seating.
The décor within the room is modern and functional while also reflecting the deep history and famous iconography associated with the MIT experience. And while the Lounge is outfitted with cutting-edge technology, including audiovisual capabilities and a new HVAC system, the restoration of the room’s original terrazzo floor and stone border serves to connect past to present.
