About this Location

Facility Overview

The Intermountain Medical Center (IMC) parking system serves Utah’s flagship medical and trauma campus in Murray, Utah. Located centrally in the Salt Lake Valley, this extensive medical complex features a balanced combination of structured multi-level parking decks (such as the North and South visitor garages) and open-air surface parking lots distributed strategically around key hospital towers, including the Doty Education Center, Heart and Lung Center, Cancer Center, and Eccles Outpatient Center. Ground-level surface lots accommodate oversized vehicles, high-roof conversion vans, and full-sized pickup trucks without height restrictions, while the covered multi-level garages provide standard clearance (typically 8 feet 2 inches on ground tiers and 7 feet 0 inches on upper levels) designed to protect patient and visitor vehicles from seasonal snow, heat, and severe weather.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because the Intermountain Medical Center is an expansive 100-acre medical campus, identify your specific destination building (e.g., Cancer Center, Outpatient Clinics, or Main Hospital) before arriving to choose the closest lot or garage. Surface lots fill up quickly during peak weekday morning clinic hours (9:00 AM to 2:00 PM); heading straight to upper garage levels often saves significant search time. Keep an eye out for courtesy shuttle carts operating throughout the outdoor lots if walking long distances presents a mobility challenge, and note that emergency department parking is strictly prioritized for urgent care arrivals.
