About this Location

Facility Overview

The AMC Parking Garage at 60 New Scotland Avenue serves as a primary, multi-level structured parking facility for the Albany Medical Center (Albany Med) healthcare campus in Albany, New York. Positioned directly within the University Heights and Park South medical corridor, this facility is engineered to accommodate patients, medical visitors, hospital personnel, and academic faculty. The multi-story deck features well-lit driving aisles, directional signage, and clearly striped bays designed to fit standard passenger sedans, crossovers, and family SUVs. Drivers operating full-size pickup trucks and oversized conversion vans should be mindful of posted overhead vertical clearance limits (generally around 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet), as high-roof commercial vans and lifted vehicles will require designated surface parking alternatives nearby.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Vehicular ingress and egress are situated along New Scotland Avenue, with secondary access routes connecting toward Morris Street and Robin Street. Traffic along New Scotland Avenue can experience routine morning and late-afternoon congestion during healthcare shift changes (around 6:30–8:00 AM and 3:30–5:30 PM), so allowing extra transition time is recommended. The facility provides excellent arterial access to major roadways, including US-9, US-20 (Western/Madison Ave), and Interstate 87/Interstate 787 via nearby connector routes. Public transit users are exceptionally well connected, with multiple Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA) bus lines stopping directly in front of the medical campus along routes 13, 18, and the 805 bus rapid transit connector.
