The Club holds monthly meetings in the Lecture Hall (Room 102) of the Fairchild Biochemistry Building, 7 Divinity Ave. at Harvard University at 6:45 PM on the first Friday of each month during the academic year. The Fairchild Biochemistry Building is part of the main campus near Harvard Square and is between Busch Hall and the Peabody Museum. It is close to the tallest building on campus, William James Hall, a white modern structure at the beginning of the street. The entrance to the building is at the south end next to Busch Hall (which is on the corner of Kirkland St. and Divinity Ave.) There is a handicap ramp leading to the entrance. For directions to the Harvard University campus go here. Our meetings are open to the public. For any questions concerning meetings contact the Corresponding Secretary or our general information contact. PLEASE NOTE: The Harvard Parking Services office advises that permits are required in all parking lots on Harvard property at all hours. Members parking in these lots without a permit risk being ticketed or towed. Members or visitors arriving before 5 PM will need to buy a permit for $10 in order to park in a Harvard parking lot assigned by that office (see our What's New page for purchase information).
