MIT Building E52 – The Alfred P. Sloan Building

The Sloan Building isn’t my favorite of the MIT East-​side buildings (that would be E53, the upside down trapezoid that is the Hermann Building). But it does have good things that one should know about:
the first floor has Refresher Course, a lunch-​type place with good sandwiches and good services, even if it is MIT food.
The economics department is here, so there’s that, as well as connections to E51 and E53.
The top floor is the banquet room, perfect for Christmas parties that overlook the Charles, and other awesome things.
So overall, E52 ain’t half bad.

Featuring an elegant Art Deco entrance, MIT Building E52, the Alfred P. Sloan Building sits grandly on the corner of Memorial Drive at Wadsworth Street.
The design is reminiscent of the fabulous High Street Bridge on Route 128 at MA-​35 in Danvers (see picture).
