The institute maintains a complex urban campus that encompasses many well-known laboratories such as the Zemlock Observatory and the Sono and Nyemeto Laboratory[5], which were named for the Alumni and Faculty involved in the discovery of the Rhetor system[6]. Students and faculty at MIST have won a large number of educational awards over the centuries. [5]
