Enjoy a View of E62, aka the Sloan School Expansion

I had the opportunity to tour the new Sloan building last week, and it's pretty impressive. It's been occupied since the beginning of the semester, and for the first time in decades, all Sloan faculty are together in one building, instead of spread among eight.

It connects to E52 and E60 and includes 205 offices, 6 classrooms, 30+ group study rooms, dining, an Executive Education suite, lounge areas, and new, usable outdoor spaces including a rebuild of Sloan Plaza. See other specs and learn more about the building (pdf, page 3) in this article from News@MITSloan.

There are lots of interesting touches, as you'll see below. Other notables: there are both tiered and flat classrooms (the latter with an awesome array of mobile whiteboards) that can later be converted—tiered classrooms can become flat and vice versa. There's underground parking for personal autos, Zipcars, and bikes. And showers and lockers allow students to easily change into business attire when necessary. Below, some of the other features of the new building on campus.
