Where We Are
MGH Institute is located in and around the historic Charlestown Navy Yard, overlooking downtown Boston. Its first, fully renovated, state-of-the-art teaching facility is in the Catherine Filene Shouse Building.
The Shouse Building houses classrooms, study areas, the School of Nursing, the departments of Communication Sciences and Disorders and Physical Therapy, the Speech-Language Literacy Center, the Aphasia Center, the Physical Therapy Center for Clinical Education and Health Promotion, the Center for Interprofessional Studies and Innovation, the Office of the Provost, the Office of Information Technology, the Operations Office, and MGH Institute Security.
Originally built as the joiner's shop in 1866, the Shouse Building also houses The Children's Quarters, which offers kindergarten and preschool daycare to staff and students of the Institute, as well as to the Charlestown community. The Shouse Building is Building 36 on First Avenue in the Navy Yard.
In 2008 the Institute expanded its campus to two other buildings. The Office of Student Affairs, the Program in Medical Imaging, the Office of Marketing and Communications, and departmental offices for the School of Nursing are now located on the ground floor of Building 39 on First Avenue. The President's Office and other administrative offices are located on the second and third floors of Building 34.
In January 2012 the Institute expanded by 21,000 square feet taking over the top floor of 2 Constitution Center (2CC), located just outside the Navy Yard and directly overlooking the USS Constitution, more commonly known as “Old Ironsides.” The addition includes new and expanded physical therapy labs, a 102-seat active learning classroom with state-of-the-art technology, the school's first dedicated research space, and lounge and study areas that students from nursing, physical therapy, and speech-language pathology share.
The Institute's space now exceeds 100,000 square feet – a 50% increase in the past decade.
MGH Institute is readily accessible by car, harbor ferry and public transportation, making it convenient to points of interest throughout the Boston area.
