Campus Construction Update Regarding Driveway Access to the Yawkey, Menino, and Moakley buildings.

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).

Childbirth Education

Childbirth classes help you know what to expect during the labor and the birth process. You can talk with other pregnant people, learn about how your body works and how your baby is growing. You will learn about birth, breastfeeding, and what to expect in the first few days of the postpartum period. Workshops consist of labor and birth, pain management, breathing and relaxation techniques, breastfeeding, baby care, and postpartum classes. Childbirth education is a safe place to ask questions or talk about your birth-related concerns.
