About this Location

Facility Overview

The St. Peter\'s Hospital Physician Parking Garage is a secure, multi-level parking structure located on the active medical campus of St. Peter\'s Hospital at 315 South Manning Boulevard in Albany, New York (ZIP 12208). Designed primarily to accommodate hospital-credentialed physicians, clinical specialists, on-call surgeons, and medical staff members, this multi-tier facility provides covered, weather-protected vehicle storage directly adjacent to hospital wings and surgical suites. The structure accommodates standard passenger sedans, crossovers, mid-size SUVs, and standard light-duty pickup trucks. Because it is a covered multi-story deck, vertical clearance restrictions apply (typically standard 6-foot-8-inch to 7-foot ceiling heights), meaning oversized commercial vans, high-roof conversion vans, and vehicles carrying rooftop cargo boxes or ladders should use designated ground-level surface parking across the medical center campus.
