Kendall/MIT Station

Located on Main Street, this station functions as a primary transit artery for the surrounding tech and biotech districts. The station headhouse is home to the Kendall Band, a kinetic sound sculpture designed to layer mechanical chimes and bells over the ambient din of the subway. While the installation typically serves as an auditory focal point for students and professionals alike, the sculpture is currently non-functional. Commuters often find themselves sharing the platform with a mix of transit musicians, creating a soundscape where the rhythm of locomotives blends with violin strings and the everyday pulse of the T.
