Stata Center

Housed in the distinctive Stata Center, designed by visionary architect Frank Gehry, CSAIL’s facilities are typically a flurry of activity. With several hundred research projects going on at any given time, our people are very busy and even our hallways quickly become collaboration spaces. For that reason, we enforce certain restrictions:

  1. All tour requests must be submitted at least TWO WEEKS in advance.
  2. All tours run 60-90 minutes.
  3. All tours are aimed at a general audience, highlighting a selection of current projects.
    With sufficient advance notice, specific projects of special interest can sometimes be included.
  4. Though a limited number of scheduled tours are held, a self-guided tour is available at our Information Desk in the lobby.

To schedule a tour, please follow the appropriate link:
Individuals (five persons or fewer)
School/Business/Government Groups (six to 20 persons maximum)

Once you request a date and time, we will send you an email letting you know if there is space. If so, you must reply to this email in order to confirm your booking.
