The University is additionally building another science and designing complex (SEC). The SEC will include best in class labs and foster interdisciplinary examination between the neuroscience and natural science divisions. The new building will be done by the mid year of 2017 and will join the recently restored 574 Boston Avenue in the development of classroom and research center offices for the designing school. 

Tufts' principle grounds is situated on Walnut Hill in Medford and Somerville, around 5 miles (8.0 km) from Boston. This grounds houses all students in Arts and Sciences and Engineering, the graduate projects at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy and the majority of the graduate projects in Arts and Sciences and Engineering.

It offers the open door for understudies to bring for-acknowledge courses for non-scholarly experts in an assortment of fields, furthermore from upper-level students who have an opportunity to plan and educate their own courses. s in a yearly symposium of researchers and specialists from the field.
