Reviews
"This library is open to the public. Although it's small, it has a unique charm and is a quiet place for studying."
"Named after James M. Barker, Class of 1907. Barker was an early leader in the field of international business who spoke eight languages, and had a lifelong interest in libraries and museums. He was a member of the MIT Corporation for almost 40 years, being its oldest active member when he died in 1974 at the age of 88. Located in the heart of campus, the Barker Engineering Library is home to one of MIT’s signature spaces. The main reading room of the Library is located on the fifth floor of Building 10, inside MIT’s Great Dome, and has served as a library reading room since 1916, when the Institute moved to Cambridge from Boston. Recent renovation work restored the Dome’s oculus, improved lighting and restored the colors of the original space."
"A must-see place if you come to MIT! Lie down on a chair right under the dome ceiling and look at the ceiling."
"This beautiful quiet space is one of the hard-to-find treasures of MIT. I like to sit in the comfortable chairs in the center and stare up at the inside of the dome."
