Yawkey Building

Q: What will happen to the space left by services after they move into the Yawkey Building?
A: Most of the space to be vacated is needed to relocate units out of Tilton, Clinics and Vincent buildings, so they can be demolished to make way for a second new building. At the same time, MGH will sponsor some additional relocations to consolidate ambulatory care units remaining on campus, as resources permit. Hospital leadership may also decide to allocate some space to meet key initiatives coming out of the current Strategic Planning process.
