Maps, Tours, & Directions
Our campus is part of the Harvard University campus located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The main buildings are located just north of historic Harvard Yard (beyond the Science Center) and are bounded to the east by Oxford Street. To the west, across an oak-filled quadrangle, is the Harvard Law School.
We are situated among the buildings housing the departments of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Systems Biology, Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Earth & Planetary Sciences, Mathematics, and Physics.
In addition, SEAS has dedicated space (administrative offices; machining facilities; and future student spaces) in the Northwest Science Building, which houses some 520,000 square feet of "flexible" laboratories, classrooms, and offices.
