About this Location

Facility Overview

The Green Lot at UPMC Passavant is a dedicated surface-level parking facility serving the UPMC Passavant Hospital campus in McCandless / Allison Park, Pennsylvania. Positioned conveniently next to Building T and the direct 4th Floor Entrance, this open-air parking area is engineered for effortless access to outpatient clinics, physician offices, and diagnostic centers. Because it is a flat outdoor surface lot without low-clearance garage ceilings, the Green Lot comfortably accommodates all vehicle types, including standard sedans, compact cars, pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and wheelchair-accessible high-top mobility vans. Generously sized driving lanes and clear directional signage help ease driver navigation in an active medical environment.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Morning appointments (typically between 8:30 AM and 11:30 AM) generate the heaviest parking turnover; arriving 15 to 20 minutes before your scheduled check-in time ensures an easy search for a stall close to Building T. If the closest rows of the Green Lot are occupied, auxiliary campus parking lots (such as the Blue or Yellow surface lots) provide viable alternatives within short walking distance. For individuals with reduced mobility, passenger drop-off is permitted directly at the Building T entrance circle prior to parking.
