UMass Boston’s main campus occupies Columbia Point in Dorchester, at 100 Morrissey Boulevard. Its waterfront setting gives this part of Boston a different institutional and open-water landscape from Dorchester’s inland neighborhood centers.
The university identifies the nearby John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, Edward M. Kennedy Institute and Massachusetts Archives as additional Columbia Point institutions. These are distinct destinations with their own visitor information. The university’s campus and arrival guidance applies to specific academic buildings and public events rather than general access to every facility.
