The 632-space Pueblo Parking Structure is located at the corner of Pueblo and Castillo. Entrances to the new structure are off both Pueblo and Castillo Streets, designed to maximize ease of entry and exit.

Parking will be free for hospital patients and their visitors through ticket validation at numerous point-of-service locations throughout the hospital, as well as in the main lobby off Bath Street until 8:00 p.m. All others will pay $2.50 per hour up to a maximum of $10.00.

The four-level structure features an elevator, ground-floor handicapped parking, numerous safety and security measures, and a bicycle center with showers and lockers to encourage alternative transportation for hospital staff. A coffee/deli shop at the corner of the structure on Pueblo at Castillo will open in late summer for the convenience of visitors and neighbors.
A second parking structure behind the Knapp Building at 2400 Bath Street is currently under construction. Designed for employee use only, the 532-space Knapp Parking Structure is slated to open early next summer.
