!! I had no idea! I thought that he was working a postdoc at MIT that whole time.
No, you were right. I guess I should have specified that J worked in the Draper labs *building*. The 6th floor was leased to MIT's astrophysics dept. It was kinda cool (and kinda unsettling) that his card access key would allow him to take the elevator to only the 6th floor and nowhere else. And the stairway doors locked from the stairway-side, so that one could leave to go downstairs (as in case of a fire) but the only access onto the floors was by one of the elevators.
We always wondered what sort of top-seekrit stuff was happening over on the other floors. Spooky.

I totally understand your feelings of homesickness. But I'm glad that this is a place where you're homesick for, if that makes any sense. :-)
