Facility Overview

The One Cooper Plaza Garage is a prominent, multi-level structured parking facility serving the main healthcare campus of Cooper University Hospital in Camden, New Jersey. Positioned at 571 Stevens Street, this facility features a structured multi-deck layout designed to accommodate patients, medical staff, university students, and urban visitors. Standard passenger vehicles, compact cars, minivans, and mid-sized SUVs navigate the facility with ease thanks to wide drive aisles, clearly designated parking bays, and directional signage across every deck. While standard consumer pickup trucks and crossover vehicles fit comfortably within the designated overhead clearance (typically 6 feet 8 inches), oversized high-top passenger vans, lifted trucks, and commercial vehicles with exterior cargo racks should review overhead clearance bars at the entrance or utilize designated exterior surface parking nearby.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Drivers visiting Cooper University Hospital during peak clinical hours (9:00 AM to 2:00 PM on weekdays) should anticipate higher traffic volumes and allow an extra 10 minutes to locate a spot on upper decks. Patients and clinic visitors should remember to bring their parking entry ticket inside to clinical reception desks, as Cooper clinics often provide validated parking discounts. When returning to your vehicle, use the ground-floor automated pay-on-foot payment machines prior to getting into your car to ensure a smooth, prompt exit at the barrier gates.
