What would you say is the most modern college in Cambridge?

I'm a junior looking at colleges in and around Cambridge and I'm really interested in seeing some newer, more modern campuses. I'm big on sustainable designs and the integration of innovative technology in education. Can anyone give me a sense of which places I should put on my must-see list?

Given your interest in modern, sustainable campus designs and innovative technology in education, you definitely want to explore the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Not only is MIT at the forefront of educational technology and engineering, the university is also in the lead in the area of sustainable campus design. The campus features a number of LEED-certified buildings with advanced environmental features designed to reduce their carbon footprint. For example, the Stata Center, though opened in 2004, still stands as a unique architectural representation of innovation.

The Media Lab Complex, completed in 2009, is a paragon of modern design. It's a six-story structure with extensive use of glass for natural light and open spaces to promote collaboration among students and faculty. The innovative technology used within its walls reflects the futuristic design of the building itself.

Another example is the Sloan School of Management building, a LEED Gold certified facility with a 6-story atrium, floor-to-ceiling windows and even a winter garden on the upper level. It was designed with the aim to foster collaboration and spontaneous meetings among students and staff.

MIT's "campus of the future" initiative also demonstrates the school's commitment to modern, sustainable designs. This plan seeks to shape MIT's physical campus to better align with its rapidly evolving teaching, research, and innovation programs. Given all of these factors, MIT would be top on your list of "must-see" schools in Cambridge for its modern and sustainable campus.
