Map and Parking Info for Pierce Hall at NEC (Winter Meeting - 2/22)


AMS-NE@ New England Conservatory: https://necmusic.edu/directions

The meeting will take place in NEC’s Pierce Hall (241 St. Botolph St., first floor).


Please note: Parking nearby is not easy. There are hard-to-find on-street meters  There are also nearby garages: Gainsborough Garage and the Westland Ave. Garage. Please refer to the website above for details. Garage parking will run about $33/day. There are two nearby T stations: Green Line (Symphony) and Orange Line (Mass Ave.). Both are quite convenient to the meeting site. Entrance to the St. Botolph St. building is now through the new Student Life and Performance Center (SLPC). The SLPC is also on St. Botolph St., but is closer to Gainsborough than Mass. Ave. (see map).

You will need an ID to sign in at the security desk.
Finding Pierce Hall: Once signed in at security in the SLPC, take the staircase by the entrance up one flight. Cross the landing diagonally to the right and take the white hallway past Burnes Hall (there will be a photo exhibit on the walls). After the white-walled hallway ends, look for a set of grey, metal doors that lead to a staircase (on the left). Go down those stairs one level, exit the stairwell. Pierce Hall will be in front of you and to the left.

For those requiring an elevator: Once signed in at the SLPC, use the the elevators near the security desk to go up one level. Exit the elevators toward the hallway (not the restrooms). On the left you will see a white hallway that runs past Burnes Hall (there will be a photo exhibit on the walls). There will be another elevator (an old one) near the staircase on the left after the white hallway ends. Take that elevator down one level. Pierce Hall will be in front of you as you exit. (First floor, St. Botolph building.)
