MacGregor House (W61)
MacGregor House, located at 450 Memorial Drive, was built in 1970 and is named for Frank S. MacGregor. It consists of a 16-story high-rise tower surrounded by a four-story low-rise. Both parts consist of suites grouped into "entries" of three to four floors each. The entries are named by letter: A, B, C, D, and E entries are located in the tower and F, G, H, and J entries are located in the low-rise. There is no I-entry, because (in true MIT style) i is imaginary.
Each suite in MacGregor houses six to eight people, usually coed; the entire dorm houses 326 undergrads. Almost all rooms in MacGregor are singles; the three doubles in F entry are an architectural anomaly. Each suite comes equipped with a bathroom and a kitchen area with a stove-top; in addition, one suite in an entry will also have an oven.
MacGregor features various amenities, including a music room, game room, and weight room. The central lounge, called the "TFL" (an acronym for "Tastefully Furnished Lounge") is on the first floor, near the convenience store (MacCon) located inside MacGregor.
