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).
A shunt is a drainage system that's surgically inserted into the brain. It's a long, thin tube with a valve that helps brain fluid flow properly.
One end of the tube is put in the brain, while the other is put under the skin to another part of the body like the stomach. This other part of the body can absorb any excess fluid.
If you have hydrocephalus, you will usually need a shunt for the rest of your life.
