Parking

Due to limited parking availability near the NEC campus, we recommend using public transportation.

Special discounted parking

Christian Science Center
The underground garage of the Christian Science Center (at the intersection of Massachusetts and Huntington Avenues, a short walk from NEC) will now offer discounted parking to Prep families and Continuing Education students on Saturdays between 7:30am and 6:10pm and on weekdays between 5pm and 10pm. Tickets are sold at the Prep office in SB120 and the CE office in SB108 (cash or checks only). 

There are two kinds:
(1) parking for up to 5 hours: $12 (or $110 for a book of 10 tickets)
(2) parking for up to 8 hours: $14 (or $130 for a book of 10 tickets)

The garage is accessible from both Massachusetts Ave. and Huntington Ave.

Handicapped parking

There are city-designated handicapped parking spaces near NEC. Because of the large number of music and theater presentations in the area, these spaces may not be available to NEC patrons. During construction projects, some of these spaces may move or become temporarily unavailable.

• Two spaces next to the entrance to NEC's Jordan Hall building at 290 Huntington Avenue
• Two spaces on Huntington Avenue outside the Cohen entrance to Symphony Hall
• One space on St. Stephen Street next to the backstage entrance to Symphony Hall
