Construction of the David H. Koch Childcare Center, which will be the fifth on-campus day care facility at MIT, has filled in the empty space left behind by the demolition of 219 Vassar St. last fall. The building was fabricated off-site, making its assembly next to Simmons Hall quicker and easier. The center is scheduled to open by the end of this summer.

MIT Medical fully converted to Follow My Health, a new healthcare portal, at the beginning of this year. The voluntary program will among other things allow patients to check and update their own medical records, as well as provide a better means of remote communication between patient and doctor.
