Cambridge Center is a development complex located in the Kendall Square section of Cambridge, Massachusetts, along Broadway and Main streets. The project was started in 1979 and continues in progress to this day.
Currently, Cambridge Center is host to the Cambridge Marriott, a Legal Sea Foods restaurant, and many small to medium-sized companies. It is located in Kendall Square, near the Kendall/MIT MBTA red line stop.
Some of the buildings have MIT designations and are partially used for academic and research purposes.
On September 16, 2011 an initiative by the City of Cambridge was unveiled called the Entrepreneur Walk of Fame. The walk of fame seeks to highlight individuals that have made contributions to innovation in the global business community.

“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
