Parking and Directions
Directions
The 2023 New Faculty Orientation, offered by the Office of the Provost, consists of a three-day event. While Monday, August 21 will be held remotely, Tuesday, August 22 and Wednesday, August 23 will be held in-person on the Boston campus.
If you plan to drive to campus for college or departmental events, you should park in the Columbus Garage located at 795 Columbus Avenue, directly across the street from the Lightview Apartment Building. The complimentary campus parking accommodations mentioned below are only valid for this parking area, which is reserved for faculty, staff, and students.
If you take public transportation, be sure to visit the MBTA Alerts website for updates on transportation service. Note that with the Sumner Tunnel closure in August, RideShare travel from Logan Airport can be problematic. It is recommended to utilize the MBTA, where they offer free trips on the MBTA Blue Line.
Take the MBTA subway Green Line “E” service to the Northeastern University stop or the Orange Line service to the Ruggles stop. Additional public transportation options can be found on the MBTA website.
