Facility Overview

The East Garage at 45 Hayden Avenue is a modern multi-level parking structure situated within the premier Hayden Research Campus in Lexington, Massachusetts. Serving one of greater Boston\'s most vital biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and life science corridors along the Route 128/Interstate 95 technology belt, this structure provides organized, covered, and weather-protected parking. The garage features wide driving aisles, intuitive floor-by-floor directional signage, clear sightlines, and generous stall widths designed to accommodate standard passenger sedans, crossovers, full-size SUVs, and standard pickup trucks. Overhead clearance bars are mounted at entry portals to ensure oversized commercial vehicles and high-roof conversion vans do not enter restricted-clearance decks.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Drivers visiting 45 Hayden Avenue should follow campus wayfinding signs directing toward visitor parking sections or East Garage visitor entrances. Note any posted speed limits (typically 10 mph) and respect reserved tenant spaces and EV charging guidelines. During winter weather events, covered levels fill quickly as commuters look to avoid snow accumulation, so arriving earlier in the morning is recommended. Always take note of your level and section number before taking the elevator down to the campus pavilions.
