Visitor & Driver Tips

During peak business hours (8:30 AM – 10:00 AM) and busy Friday and Saturday evenings, upper parking levels generally offer the quickest space availability. Always make note of your parked floor and aisle pillar number to facilitate quick retrieval at the end of your visit. If you are visiting a corporate office or medical tenant within the Spectrum Center Drive towers, inquire beforehand whether your host provides parking validation to reduce or waive hourly transient fees.
