The Chemistry Department occupies buildings in the heart of the MIT campus between Killian Court and Eastman Court. The Department Headquarters Office is located on the third floor of the Dreyfus Building (Building 18-393) and provides administrative, financial, and human resources support for the department. The Chemistry Education Office is located on the second floor of Building 6 (6-205). The Education Office oversees the undergraduate and graduate programs including course management and graduate admissions.

The ride will normally take about a half-hour and costs $1.

Taxi fare from the airport is about $20. During non-rush hour, the taxi ride will take about 15 minutes. During rush hour, the ride can require 30-45 minutes.
