MBTA said developer BXP funded the headhouse renovation in coordination with the Cambridge Redevelopment Authority. Progressive Railroading reported that the updated headhouse includes a new glass enclosure and renovated stairs. In addition, it has an escalator and an additional glass elevator with street-level access.

“Kendall/MIT Station remains fully accessible, and the new redundant elevator will be ready for passenger service once the final phase of headhouse renovation is complete, which is anticipated in early June,” MBTA officials said in a press release.
