Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a seamless visit, motorists are advised to bring their parking ticket inside the medical building, as many participating medical practices and clinics provide parking validation at reception desks. Take note of your assigned floor color or column number upon exiting your vehicle to expedite your departure. If arriving for morning clinical appointments between 8:30 AM and 10:00 AM, allow an extra five minutes to navigate into the deck, as turnover is steady but traffic along Medical Center Drive can peak during regular shift changes.
