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).

Craniopharyngioma

Craniopharyngioma is a tumor located in the pituitary gland or surrounding areas. Although not a cancer, it can exert ill effects by compressing the brain and surrounding tissue. It is believed that a person is born with this growth, and it can become evident in childhood or later in life. Surgery, along with radiation in some cases, is used to treat this problem.
