PARKING AT UAB HOSPITAL

 

RECOMMENDED PARKING OPTION:

The main University Hospital parking deck is located at the corner of 4th Avenue and 18th Street South. 

 

When you enter the parking lot on 18th Street and 4th Avenue South, no matter what floor you park on, you need to go to the 2nd floor to enter the hospital.  As you enter the 2nd floor of the parking area (you will see a small info desk, TV’s, and parking validation machines).  You will need to go across the 5th Avenue crosswalk that enters into the North Pavilion and continue to walk through that area until you cross another crosswalk over 6th Avenue South.  When you have crossed the 6th Avenue crosswalk, you enter into another building where you find pictures of different departments on the wall and a vending machine.  You will need to look up at the signs and follow the hallway into the West Pavilion Building. You will walk through double doors that connect to the West Pavilion Building.   You will continue to walk to the end of that hall and turn right, you will pass elevators on your right and then take the next hallway to the right and that will lead you to the West Pavilion Conference Center on your left.  We plan to have signs at the 5th Avenue crosswalk on the second floor and then as you enter the 6th Avenue Crosswalk. 

 

 

ALTERNATE PARKING OPTIONS:

There are also parking decks located adjacent to, or nearby, other specific buildings and metered spaces on the street are available.
