The Main Building Parking Garage

  • From the Main Building, enter this parking garage using the elevator just inside the entrance to the Main Building.
  • Has spaces for electric vehicle charging.
  • Has a departure lounge (room B11) where your family can wait for their ride. It is open from 11:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Parking Passes & Validation

As you enter the parking garage, pull a ticket from the machine. You can then use valet services or park your own car.

If you park yourself, you will need to pay for parking using your pass at one of the pay machines before returning to your car. There are no pay machines at the garage exits.

Patient & Family Parking

  • Parking passes are for patients staying in the hospital and their parent/guardian/caregiver.
  • The Welcome Desk can validate your pass to reduce the cost of parking.
  • You must get your parking pass from the machines within the parking garages.
  • If needed, families can choose either a 1-day or 7-day parking pass at the Welcome Desk or Admitting Desk.

Visitor Parking

  • Visitors, including other parents and siblings, will need to pay for parking.
