How long will this take?

Construction begins June 1 with completion expected in September 2021.

• Patients and employees can still park there during construction.
• Signs, flaggers, and barriers will help drivers safely navigate the garage.
• The parking garage is still the primary self-park option for patients coming to campus.
  • Patients of Building C clinics and surgery patients may use the free valet service in the Building C garage on Winter Street.
