About this Location

Facility Overview

The LaSalle Street Parking Garage is a modern multi-level parking structure situated directly off LaSalle Street in the heart of St. Louis\'s bustling medical and Midtown innovation district. Designed to serve the Saint Louis University (SLU) Medical Center, surrounding healthcare facilities, and neighborhood visitors, this facility offers abundant sheltered parking spaces across multiple tiers. The garage features clearly delineated one-way driving lanes, generous drive aisles, and directional signage that streamline vehicle circulation. With standard garage vertical clearance (typically posted at 7 feet 0 inches / 2.13 meters), the structure comfortably accommodates standard passenger sedans, crossovers, mid-size trucks, and standard full-size SUVs. Oversized commercial delivery vans, high-roof conversion vans, and vehicles with rooftop accessories exceeding posted clearance limits should utilize designated open-air surface lots nearby.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During peak morning clinic hours (8:00 AM to 10:30 AM) and shift changes, traffic along South Grand Boulevard and LaSalle Street can increase; arriving 10 to 15 minutes ahead of scheduled medical appointments is strongly recommended. Keep your entry ticket in a safe place inside your vehicle or pay at the walk-up pay stations before returning to your car to ensure a smooth exit through the automated barrier gates. Drivers operating taller pickup trucks or carrying roof racks should verify posted clearance signs at the entrance threshold prior to proceeding into the structure.
