About this Location

Facility Overview

The West Parking Garage is a primary multi-level covered parking structure located on the southern campus of Morristown Medical Center (part of the Atlantic Health System) in Morristown, New Jersey. Conveniently situated off Madison Avenue (Route 124) and accessible via hospital ring roads, this facility is purpose-built to serve patients, visitors, medical staff, and specialists visiting the adjacent hospital pavilions, including the Gagnon Cardiovascular Institute, Carol G. Simon Cancer Center, and Goryeb Children\'s Hospital. The facility features wide driving lanes, well-demarcated bays, bright overhead LED lighting, and direct elevator towers linking directly into main hospital wings via climate-controlled skywalks and pedestrian concourses. Vertical height clearance in the garage is standard for modern multi-deck structures at approximately 7 feet (84 inches), comfortably accommodating compact cars, standard sedans, crossovers, and full-size SUVs. Drivers operating lifted trucks, commercial high-roof vans, or vehicles equipped with high cargo racks should utilize designated surface oversized vehicle parking areas situated nearby on the medical campus.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During peak clinic hours (between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM on weekdays), lower levels fill quickly; drivers looking to park promptly should proceed directly to upper levels where space is generally plentiful. Always keep your parking ticket with you when exiting your vehicle so you can pay at the automated pay stations inside the hospital elevator lobbies prior to returning to your car, allowing for swift barrier-arm scanning at the exit gates. If you are accompanying mobility-impaired patients, take advantage of the ground-level passenger drop-off zones at the hospital\'s main entrances before proceeding into the West Garage to park.
