Physicians for Human Rights
Using science and medicine to stop human rights violationsWhere We Are
PHR's headquarters office is at
2 Arrow Street, Cambridge, MA.
Arrow Street is a short, one-way street that runs between Massachusetts Avenue and Bow Street, heading into Harvard Square.
There are many ways to reach this area of Cambridge; you can print directions from your location to ours by clicking on "directions" on the map below.
Parking
Parking is at a premium in Cambridge. This link shows a number of relatively close-by parking garages (within 10-12 minutes walk): http://www.harvardsquare.com/maps.aspx (double-click on one of the blue P signs on the map to get the address).
There are also meters on Arrow Street and the streets around us. However, be aware that the meters are two-hour parking only, and are aggressively enforced.
Using Public Transportation
2 Arrow Street is less than 10 minutes' walk from the Harvard Station Red Line Subway stop, to the east. (See Harvard Square T on the map, at Brattle Street and Mass Ave.) The MBTA's
#1 bus, from Boston to Cambridge, also stops right near 2 Arrow Street, on Mass Ave; other buses also come from other directions into Harvard Square. Try the MBTA's Trip Planner to see if one serves your needs.
Entering the Building
You need to be buzzed into the building. In the outer lobby, on the right-hand wall, is an intercom system. Please do not call us on your cell phone; we must buzz you in using the intercom.
The instructions are written on the intercom, but also are here:
- Press the number 6 twice to scroll to "Physicians"
- Press the # key to initiate the call
- Press the * key to cancel the call
When the call is answered, announce yourself and who you are visiting and you will be buzzed in. PHR is on the third floor.
