Institute Has Moved to New Home
March 1, 2007
 As
of 1 March 2007, the Institute is located at 34 Kirkland Street,
a new home after thirty-three years at the 1583 Massachusetts Avenue
site. The move is part of a general Faculty of Arts and Sciences
plan to bring centers and institutes in international studies closer
together within a cluster of centrally located buildings called
the Center for Government and International Studies (CGIS). With
this move, the Institute is closer to its constituencies in the
Slavic, History, and Government departments. As a member of CGIS,
the Institute has direct access to all the state-of-the-art meeting
rooms and reception facilities in the CGIS complex that straddles
Cambridge Street near Gund Hall.
 A
historical landmark with eighteenth- and nineteenth-century components,
34 Kirkland Street had undergone renovation in advance of the Institute’s
relocation. The tetrastyle Doric portico is sure to become the most
recognizable external feature of the Institute’s new building,
which houses the Institute’s staff and visiting fellows on
three floors. The first floor features a new library cum reading
room suitable for the weekly Seminar in Ukrainian Studies.
