About this Location

Facility Overview

The Washington University Outpatient Garage (frequently referred to as the Center for Advanced Medicine Garage) is a premier multi-level, covered parking structure serving the Washington University School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital medical complex in the vibrant Central West End neighborhood of St. Louis. Located along South Euclid Avenue near Forest Park Parkway, this modern garage provides direct, climate-controlled, weather-protected pedestrian walkway and skybridge connections into the Center for Advanced Medicine (CAM) and adjacent clinical facilities. Designed specifically to accommodate high volumes of daily patients, visitors, medical staff, and university personnel, the garage features wide drive aisles, bright illumination, clearly marked stalls, and comprehensive accessibility infrastructure. Standard passenger sedans, compact SUVs, and light trucks navigate the facility effortlessly, though drivers of oversized commercial vans or lifted pickup trucks should adhere closely to posted clearance limits (typically 7 feet / 2.13 meters) and consider ground-level or surface parking if vehicle modifications exceed standard specifications.
