Facility Overview
The University of Utah Neuroscience Center parking facility serves patients, medical staff, academic visitors, and downtown Salt Lake City commuters. Situated in the vibrant core of Salt Lake City near the 400 South transit and commercial corridor, this facility offers accessible and dependable vehicular accommodation. The lot is designed with standard marked bays and intuitive directional signage, catering seamlessly to standard passenger vehicles, compact cars, light trucks, and full-size SUVs. Because the facility features an open-air surface layout with direct ground-level access, oversized vehicles and high-roof conversion vans are not constrained by typical low-hanging garage height restrictions.

These thoroughfares provide swift, direct connections to Interstate 15 and Interstate 80 for regional commuters heading to and from the Salt Lake Valley.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When planning your trip, note that 400 South is a major transit artery with central light rail tracks; obey designated left-turn signals when navigating into adjacent side streets. During major downtown events, festivals at the Gallivan Center, or evening performances at the theater district, spaces fill quickly—plan to arrive 20 to 30 minutes ahead of scheduled appointments. Keep your license plate number on hand when utilizing pay stations or mobile payment apps to ensure a seamless parking session.
