We will soon begin repaving the main driveway outside the Yawkey, Menino, and Moakley buildings. Weather permitting, driveway closures are scheduled for the following weekends, from Friday at 8 p.m. through Sunday at 8 p.m., on the following dates: Sept. 19-21, Sept. 26-28, Oct. 17-19, and Oct. 24-26. 

Access Changes During Construction:

Pedestrian Access: Patients and visitors will be able to enter Moakley through the entrance on East Concord Street.    

Vehicle Access: Vehicular traffic should use the designated drop-off and pick-up area on East Concord Street or the 710 Albany Street Garage. Signage will indicate where metered parking has been blocked off to create a drop-off/pick-up zone (on E. Concord between Harrison and the Moakley side entrance).

Cytogenetics testing looks for changes in the chromosomes in cells, such as translocations (when part of a chromosome breaks off one chromosome and attaches to a second) and other abnormalities. Pathologists use these abnormalities to help classify the type of cancer. Before the pathologist can view the chromosomes under a microscope, the cells must be given time to grow in lab dishes. For this reason, cytogenetics testing may take two to three weeks to yield results.
