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).

Intracranial Pressure Monitoring

Intracranial pressure is the pressure inside your skull. It can be measured with an:

  • Intraventricular catheter: A tube inserted through a hole in the skull into an area of the brain that contains cerebrospinal fluid
  • Subdural screw: A hollow screw inserted through the membrane that protects the brain and spinal cord
  • Epidural sensor: A less-invasive method that uses a sensor put between the skull and brain

Intracranial pressure monitoring is usually done on people who have neurological emergencies, such as a severe head injury.
