Harvard Science Center corridor in Cambridge with red doors, skylights, and modernist white-framed windows. — The Harvard Science Center, completed in 1973, was designed by architect José Luis Sert and funded largely through a gift from Polaroid founder Edwin Land. At more than 300,000 square feet, it ranks among the largest buildings on Harvard's Cambridge campus. The complex houses lecture halls, the Cabot Science Library, and the Putnam Gallery, which displays historical scientific instruments from Harvard's collections. Sert designed the building's tiered massing to evoke a stack of cameras, part of his broader effort to reshape Harvard's campus during the postwar era.
