Parking Changes in the Medical Center
A number of important changes are occurring related
to parking in the OSU Medical Center and the general parking
permit system for the 2009-2010 parking permit year. For more
information, please see the information listed below or download
the OSU
Medical Center Parking Options fact sheet (pdf).
Garage Spaces Near the Medical Center
- The SAFEAUTO Hospitals Garage spaces and the 12th Avenue
Garage spaces for patients and their visitors are a scarce
resource and not intended for staff use.
OSU employees may not park in garages designated for patients
and patient visitors unless they are a patient or visiting
a patient or have the appropriate disability parking permit.
- The new 9th Avenue East garage (1000 spaces) will open
by September 1, 2009.
- B Garage groupings have been adjusted to better reflect
the area of campus where staff park; reduce the need to drive across campus;
and create hourly parking in the Neil Avenue garage. The
total quantity of B Garage permits available has not changed.
For more information, please see BG
Permit Allocation Change.
- Patient care staff who work shifts that require arrival
during mid morning peak hour and end after the Med Center
Express bus ends may request an exception and obtain a BG
permit. A letter from their Nurse Manager validating the
shift assignment is required in advance.
Low Cost Parking Alternatives
- Alternatives to parking on sight and dealing with construction
delays and detours include buying the low cost CX permit.
Staff can park in the Buckeye Lot and use the Med
Center Express shuttle to get back and forth to the
Medical Center. The Med
Center Express buses run Monday – Friday from
5:30am – 1am, with timed stops at both the Medical
Center and Buckeye Lot to help you plan your commute. Anytime
the Med Center Express does not run (weekends and holidays),
your CX permit is honored in the Polo Lot parking west of
Cannon Drive (aka "The Pit").
- Employees who work at the main Medical Center campus may
not park at Ackerman, Morehouse and OSU East and use the
Medical Center shuttles to get back and forth to work on
the main medical center campus. This shuttle is a scarce
resource intended for patients and staff who are based in
these remote locations and need to access the main campus
area for patient care or for meetings.
- A portion of the Ackerman Lot will change to require an
A or B permit. For more information, please visit the Ackerman
Lot parking change map.
Off Site Parking Options
- Departmental “A” permits are available to
staff who work at satellite locations (defined as not adjacent
to the central campus) but come to the main campus for business
related purposes. Please see departmental
parking options for more information.
- The new Medical Access (“MA”) permit is now
available for staff based at Medical Center Satellite locations
and OSU East who need to travel back and forth between their
primary work location and the OSUMC central campus for business
purposes. Please see Medical
Center Satellite Office parking options for more information.
