Meeting Spaces

Thank you for your interest in hosting a meeting or event at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute. Our space rental program has been suspended. At this time, our campus is not available to host Harvard University or external meetings and events, and we cannot confirm space for future dates. This page will be updated if or when our policies have changed.
