University Park at MIT, Urban redevelopment area in Cambridgeport, Massachusetts, United States
University Park extends across 50,000 square feet of land between MIT campus and residential Cambridgeport, featuring shade trees, benches, and open lawn areas.
The property previously housed the Simplex Wire & Cable Company, with a large wire spool now standing in University Park Common as an industrial heritage marker.
The outdoor space includes over 100 sculptural pieces in bronze and stainless steel, forming an art collection titled Traces that represents local industrial history.
Public parking facilities operate 24 hours at 55 Franklin Street Garage, charging 4 dollars for the first 30 minutes of vehicle storage.
A fog fountain with cast bronze oyster shells discovered during construction reflects the location's early salt marsh geography.
