• From any T accessible location, take the Red Line Alewife direction to Kendall Square stop. The T has four lines: the Red Line, the Blue Line, the Orange Line, and the Green Line. Thus, you need to change T at Park Street or Downtown Crossing if you are on a T line other than red. To get to SloanOnce above ground (you'll be on Main Street), head for the nearby Fleet Bank on the corner of Wadsworth Street. Walk half a block down Wadsworth toward the river, then cross the street to a wide flight of stone steps &mdash the Sloan Plaza. The Hermann Building (which houses the Sloan library and faculty offices; also known as E53) is straight ahead, and the main Sloan building (E52) is on your right.
• From the airport, take the SL1 Silver Line bus from your terminal through the dedicated tunnel under the harbor to South Station on the T Red Line. Follow signs to the Red Line Alewife platform. Take an Alewife or Harvard train to the Kendall/MIT station (four stops). During rush hours the entire trip could take about 30 minutes. During off-hours it could take an hour.
• The fare on T trains, trolleys, and buses is under $2.00, with free transfers between lines. If you have or pick up a "Charlie Card", fares are a bit lower and more convenient.
