A new earth‐sciences building at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has recently been occupied. The twenty‐story, concrete tower along the Charles River Basin is called the Cecil and Ida Green Building for the MIT Center for Earth Sciences. The $6‐million structure will house classrooms, laboratories, offices, an auditorium, and a library for teaching and research in the various earth‐science disciplines. A meteorological research laboratory on the rooftop is equipped with two radar platforms, a weather instrument tower, a balloon shed for upper‐atmosphere studies, and a transparent dome sheltering experimental radar equipment.
