Pet Policy

Per the direction of our landlord, Harvard University, we do not allow pets in our facilities.

As per ADA guidelines, we do allow service animals in our facilities. If you have a service animal; you must be extra careful around sharp, dangerous, and toxic objects - especially in our shops - as we don't want your service animal to be hurt accidentally!!!

A service animal must be under the control of its handler. Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless the individual’s disability prevents using these devices or these devices interfere with the service animal’s safe, effective performance of tasks. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls. For more information about service animals as per ADA guidelines, please visit the ADA website here.
