Flow and movement are the defining features of this award-winning academic precinct straddling Boston’s Roxbury and Fenway neighborhoods. The EXP includes state-of-the-art labs, dedicated space to support Northeastern’s innovative work in autonomous vehicles, drones and humanoid robots, and a makerspace to promote collaboration between students across disciplines. EXP includes teaching and research labs, a café, a faculty club and landscaped green space sandwiched in between the train station and the Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Complex, which was opened in 2017 to national acclaim. This cutting-edge hub for the sciences has helped position Northeastern University as a premier destination for research, but it also serves as a vital social space for students.

MODERNIZED FLEXIBILITY
EXP is built in a very robust way, so that any of the labs can be converted from a dry lab to a wet lab to computational lab, as needed. The Pedestrian Crossing connects EXP and the Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Complex with the rest of the Boston campus, forming a physical link between the two sides.
