Facility Overview
The Red Parking Garage is a dedicated multi-level parking structure situated on the Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center (AAMC) medical campus in Annapolis, Maryland. Positioned conveniently off Jennifer Road and Medical Parkway, this covered deck is specifically engineered to provide seamless, weather-protected vehicle access for visitors, outpatients, and healthcare staff. The structure features clearly demarcated bays, broad driving aisles for smooth bidirectional navigation, and dedicated elevators linking all parking tiers directly to key campus facilities, particularly the Belcher Pavilion. While standard passenger cars, minivans, crossover vehicles, and full-size SUVs can comfortably maneuver and park within the garage, high-profile commercial vans, campers, and lifted trucks exceeding the garage height clearance (standard 7-foot vertical limit) should utilize designated campus surface parking areas or oversized patient drop-off zones.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Located in the healthcare and retail core of Annapolis, the Red Parking Garage serves as an essential arrival point for clinical appointments and medical consultations. It provides immediate covered access via skywalks and pedestrian paths to the Belcher Pavilion, home to the Geaton and JoAnn DeCesaris Cancer Institute, outpatient surgical suites, and specialized physician clinics. Beyond the hospital grounds, the garage is situated just across Jennifer Road from Westfield Annapolis Mall, offering extensive retail, dining, and entertainment options such as Nordstrom Rack, The Cheesecake Factory, and Bow Tie Cinemas within a 5-minute walk or 2-minute drive. The vibrant dining and boutique district of Annapolis Town Center is less than 5 minutes away by car, while Historic Downtown Annapolis, the Maryland State House, and the United States Naval Academy are situated approximately 4 miles to the southeast along Rowe Boulevard.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress to the Red Parking Garage are straightforward, with primary access points situated along Medical Parkway and Jennifer Road. Clear directional signage guides drivers from major regional arteries including US Route 50 (John Hanson Highway) and Interstate 97 directly onto the medical center ring roads. During morning and mid-afternoon peak appointment windows, traffic marshals and digital capacity indicators help direct incoming vehicles to open parking levels. For those connecting via public transportation, the Anne Arundel Medical Center transit hub is located within short walking distance, serviced by Annapolis Transit (Purple and Gold routes) as well as regional Anne Arundel County commuter bus services connecting to surrounding park-and-ride facilities.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To avoid rushing before a medical appointment, plan to arrive at least 15 to 20 minutes before your scheduled check-in time, particularly between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM when visitor turnover is highest. Take note of your assigned pillar letter, floor number, and elevator bank before proceeding into the building, as the multi-level layout can be disorienting upon return. If you are transporting a passenger with mobility limitations, utilize the covered ground-level patient drop-off circle at the pavilion entrance prior to parking inside the garage deck.
