About this Location

Facility Overview

The Euclid Parking Garage (formerly known as the North Garage) is a premier multi-level structured parking facility situated at the intersection of South Euclid Avenue and Parkview Place in the vibrant Central West End district of St. Louis, Missouri. Serving as the primary parking hub for the Washington University Medical Campus (WUMC) and the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Center for Advanced Medicine (CAM), this expansive garage offers convenient, weather-protected self-parking with direct indoor access. A defining feature of the structure is its exceptional vertical clearance of 8 feet 4 inches (8'4"), which is notably higher than typical metropolitan garages. This generous headroom comfortably accommodates full-size pickup trucks, passenger vans, large SUVs with cargo carriers, and specialized handicap-accessible high-top wheelchair conversion vans. Featuring modern circulation ramps, expansive lane widths, and clearly marked bays, the facility provides an effortless parking experience for patients, visitors, medical professionals, and neighborhood patrons.

Visitor & Driver Tips

To enjoy a hassle-free parking visit at Euclid Garage, keep the following local tips in mind:

Clinic Validations: If you are attending an outpatient clinic or physician appointment at the Center for Advanced Medicine or affiliated WashU facilities, remember to request parking validation at the reception desk to receive a substantial discount on published garage rates.
Multi-Day Inpatient Passes: Family members of admitted inpatients can purchase discounted multi-exit parking passes (e.g., 5-exit value cards) at hospital information desks or gift shops, offering significant savings over consecutive daily maximum rates.
Bridge-Level Parking: For the quickest walking route into clinical suites without navigating multiple elevator transfers, aim to park on Level 3, which directly links to the pedestrian skywalk across South Euclid Avenue.
Peak Arrival Hours: The garage experiences its highest volume between 8:30 AM and 11:30 AM on weekdays. Allow an extra 10 to 15 minutes to navigate to the upper tiers during these morning appointment windows.
Keep Your Ticket Safe: Take your entry ticket with you when exiting your vehicle so you can pay at the walk-up pay-on-foot machines near the elevator lobbies prior to returning to your car, allowing for faster gate checkout.
