Parking during ongoing construction

We are committed to ensuring minimal disruption during ongoing construction on our campus.

Do not park in designated construction zones. Certain areas have been temporarily blocked off for construction, as indicated above.

The parkade is only accessible via the Gilbert Rd entrance. See the entry point in the image above.

Paid parking remains in effect.

Continue to park in areas clearly designated for patient parking, including our parkade. These spaces are reserved to ensure you have easy access to the hospital.
