University of Missouri Health Care is taking a groundbreaking approach to patient care

University of Missouri Health Care is committed to providing exceptional health care to our patients, now and in the future. To accomplish that, we are undertaking a significant upgrading and expansion of our facilities. From renovating Children’s Hospital to building a new surgery tower at University Hospital, the expansion projects at our facilities all share one goal: to provide our patients with world-class care in a convenient and comfortable environment.

The MU campus began work on the infrastructure to support University of Missouri Health Care campus building projects on July 2, 2007. Demolition of the University Terrace apartments to prepare the area for an expanded utility substation, surface parking and the planned Orthopaedic Institute also began in July and is under way. When you visit us, please take advantage of our free valet parking in front of University Hospital and University Physicians Medical Building.

Construction status as of January 2, 2008:

On Oct. 5, 2007, the University of Missouri reopened the intersection of Hospital Drive and Virginia Avenue to automobile traffic. Additional employee parking has also been added to the CG-1 parking lot. Click one of the links below to view a map showing available parking.

On Jan. 2, 2008, a shuttle service was implemented to transport employees from CG-1 parking lot at Hospital Drive and College Avenue to University Hospital. For more information and a map of the route, please see the employees section below.

Patients and visitors

We encourage patients and visitors to use our free valet parking service. Simply pull into the circle drive in front of the University Physicians Medical Building or the entrance to University Hospital, and a parking attendant will be there to take your keys and park your car for you. When you are ready to leave, the parking attendant will bring your car to you.

Patients and visitors can also park at:

• Patient parking garage, between University Hospital and University Physicians Medical Building
• Surface parking lot (HSC-2S), directly across the street from University Physicians Medical Building
• Surface parking lot (HSC-2N), next to University Physicians Medical Building

Employees

A shuttle to transport employees from CG-1 parking lot at Hospital Drive and College Avenue to University Hospital began its route Jan. 2.

The route is run from 6 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on weekdays year-round, except for on the health system’s paid holidays. The route will be run at least five times per hour, approximately every 10 minutes.

To assure pedestrians’ safety, the shuttle will pick up passengers only at designated bus stops. Passengers will be dropped off at University Hospital’s circle drive, and if requested, passengers may also be dropped off at University Physicians Medical Building.

Thank you for your patience during our construction while we work to improve patient care.
