New parking garage

In support of the growing number of patients, staff and guests visiting our 39th and Rainbow campus, we’re adding a new parking garage – Parking Garage 6 (P6) to the north of existing Parking Garage 5 (P5). The P6 garage will bring 2,300 new parking spaces to the campus upon its completion in 2028.

When parking on the 39th and Rainbow campus, these parking garages are available for patients and guests:

Beginning July 20, Eaton Street will be closed between 36th Avenue and 37th Avenue until mid-August. Eaton Street runs north/south 2 blocks west of State Line Road. On-site signage will clearly mark driving detours.

P5 will remain accessible during the Eaton Street closure. Drivers will be routed from Cambridge Street to 37th Avenue and then into the garage.
