Facilities and Space Management


“…communication included psychology, language, and sensory physiology. Thus it was that from its earliest days RLE brought in linguists, psychologists, and neurophysiologists, as well as information theorists, radio engineers, and physicists.”

—Louis D. Smullin
Professor of Electrical Engineering

RLE administers extensive laboratory and office spaces in MIT buildings 26, 36, and 38 as well as other resources such as the RLE Conference Center, woodworking shop, vehicle pool and other common facilities.

RLE operations and support services include:

  • Assembly and moving of furniture and general purpose equipment
  • Coordinating with MIT Facilities for electrical,  plumbing, lighting, heating/cooling, and cleaning issues
  • Environmental Health and Safety ( EHS )
  • RLE vehicle pool
  • RLE Conference Room setups

Major space renovations must undergo a special MIT review and approval process. Please contact the Facilities Coordinator if you have questions.
