Libraries Staff Based in NE36

Libraries staff based in NE36 have badges, distributed by Biogen building management, to enter 105 Broadway during the hours that the lobby is not staffed (before 6AM and after 6PM on weekdays, all day on weekends or holidays). On the 6th floor these members of staff may use their MIT IDs for 24/7 access to our office suite by tapping their MIT IDs on the card pad next to any Libraries entrance.

Important information on Biogen Badge access:

• Anyone moving to NE36 who needs a badge, new hires, temps, or others (ex: delivery services) must register for one using this email form. This form can also be used for individuals who have lost their Biogen issued building access badge.
• Badge processing time varies but is often turned around in two business days.  Bike key turnaround is slower and can take several weeks to months depending on Biogen's vendor.
• All Biogen badges must be tapped at the first floor badge readers (front door main entrance OR first floor elevator lobby) at least once a month in order to remain active. If your Biogen badge is inactive then it will not grant access to the building weekdays before 6am or after 6pm, on weekends, and on holidays. If you are unsure if your badge is properly activated tap it at one of the two first floor readers. If it flashes red/green it is active, if it flashes solid red it is inactive.
• Biogen badges can be reactivated during regular business hours at the front desk by asking the security representative present and showing your MIT ID. You must have your MIT ID in order to do this.
• If you lose your Biogen ID or bike cage key please immediately report the loss to the NE36 Administrative Assistants team via email only.

Libraries Staff Based in Other Locations

Libraries staff members not based in NE36 are able to tap their MIT IDs on the card pad next to any Libraries entrance on the 6th floor to unlock the door between 6AM and 6PM on weekdays.

Please note that the 6th floor bathrooms are outside of our office suite. Anyone with card pad access via a Libraries MIT ID will need to use their MIT ID to get back in.

Other Members of the MIT Community

All members of the MIT community may enter the building between 6AM and 6PM on weekdays by presenting their MIT ID to the security guard on the first floor. Non-Libraries members of the MIT community will need to be let into the office suite by either ringing one of our doorbells or using a cell phone to call the member of staff they are meeting. (You may also choose to meet your guest in the first floor lobby to escort them up.) Please note that you are responsible for meeting any guests that you may invite to meet in NE36 at the door, as we have no receptionist on either floor.

Please note that the 6th floor bathrooms are outside of our office suite. Non-Libraries members of the MIT community will need to be let back into the office suite by a member of staff.

Staff who invite visitors are responsible for escorting their guests in and out of the suite. You may choose to meet them in the lobby, or at the entrance to the suite. MIT does not allow for temporary access cards, so please be aware that guests will need to be met at the door any time they enter/exit the suite.
