HDS - Directions to the School

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) Silver Line, a bus rapid-transit system, stops at all Logan Airport terminals. Take the Silver Line to South Station. From South Station, take the Red Line inbound six stops to Harvard Square.

For more information on the Red and Silver lines, including fares, maps, and schedules, visit the MBTA website.

Walking From Harvard Square

The Harvard "T" stop is located in the center of Harvard Square. From Harvard Square, walk northeast across Harvard Yard, then past the Science Center on the left, to Kirkland Street, and along Kirkland Street to the east.

To reach Divinity Hall, turn left on Divinity Avenue, the first street to the left. Divinity Hall is the last building on the right, at 14 Divinity Avenue.

To reach the rest of the HDS campus, stay on Kirkland, proceeding past Divinity Avenue, to Francis Avenue, and turn left on Francis. Andover Hall and the Andover-Harvard Theological Library will be on the left side of the street, at 45 Francis Avenue. Rockefeller Hall, 47 Francis Avenue, is beside Andover Hall to the north. The Center for the Study of World Religions, 42 Francis Avenue, is on the right side of the street, across from Andover Hall. The Carriage House, at 56 Francis Avenue, is also on the right side of Francis Avenue, just beyond the bend at Jewett House, the Dean's residence.

Driving From the Massachusetts Turnpike

Take Exit 18, marked "Cambridge/Allston." Follow the Cambridge signs off the ramp to the traffic lights. Stay in the middle lane while crossing the bridge. Proceed across the bridge onto River Street. Stay in the left lane and follow River Street about one mile into Central Square, the first major traffic intersection. Travel straight across the intersection. (Here River Street becomes Prospect Street.) At the second light, turn left onto Broadway. Follow Broadway to its end at Quincy Street, in the midst of the Harvard campus, and bear right, with fire station on left, onto Quincy Street. Proceed on Quincy Street through two traffic lights until Quincy ends at Kirkland Street.

Parking

There is limited metered parking available on Kirkland Street, in either direction, and Divinity Avenue and Francis Avenue are the first two streets off Kirkland to the east—please see Walking From Harvard Square, just above. There are also metered spaces on Broadway, just before it ends at Quincy, and on Quincy to the left off Broadway, along Harvard Yard.

Guest permits to all University parking areas are issued on a first-come-first-served basis, and may be obtained from the Parking Office website. To obtain a permit through the Parking Office website, you will need to register on the site prior to purchasing a permit. For this registration you will need a Department Code.
