Facility Overview
The Aultman Parking Deck is the primary multi-level covered parking structure serving the flagship campus of Aultman Hospital in Canton, Ohio. Situated at 2600 Seventh Street SW in the south-central district of Canton, this modern multi-tier garage provides sheltered, direct, and convenient access to Aultman Hospital\'s emergency department, inpatient towers, outpatient clinics, and physician offices. Designed specifically to handle patient, visitor, and medical staff traffic, the garage features smooth two-way driving ramps, well-marked directional signage, bright LED lighting throughout, and broad turning radiuses on every tier. Standard passenger sedans, crossovers, minivans, and standard-height pickup trucks and SUVs can maneuver and park effortlessly. High-roof commercial vans, lifted trucks, or vehicles exceeding the standard multi-level clearance (typically posted at 7 feet 0 inches) should use the adjacent open-air surface lots or patient discharge zones to prevent clearance issues.
