Welcome to Ashdown House!

Ashdown House is MIT's newest -- and oldest -- graduate residence. Although we have had a continuous community and system of government since 1933, across three distinct buildings, we most recently moved in August 2008 into NW35, MIT's newest building at 235 Albany St. This website remains under construction, but offers for now some useful links and information about upcoming events at Ashdown.
