Parking

Stay Safe During Campus Construction

St. Jude is constructing 2 new 15-story buildings. One will house the hospital’s outpatient clinics. The other will contain clinical offices. They will be built between Chili’s Care Center and North 3rd Street.

Work on these buildings affects parking and access to the hospital. Check this page for ongoing updates.

Latest News

  • The circle drive in front of the Patient Care Center (PCC) is closed to traffic. But the PCC hospital entrance is open for pedestrians.
  • Walking paths are marked with colored decals.
  • Please use the valet service to park whenever possible.
  • Please use the shuttle to travel to the hospital from St. Jude housing.
 

Site work and demolition create dust. This dust may contain harmful particles. For your child’s safety, please:

  • Use the shuttle instead of walking on campus.
  • Wear a mask at all times when outside.
  • Use the valet service if you drive to campus.

You may enter the hospital through the Chili’s Care Center entrance anytime, including weekends and holidays. Isolation patients should now enter through the Chili’s Care Center isolation entrance.

To park on campus, it is best to use the valet service. Drop off or pick up your car at the Chili’s Care Center circle drive. Enter campus through the Lauderdale gate.

If you choose to self-park, please park in marked patient spaces and enter the hospital through the PCC.

 

Construction dust may contain fungal spores or other particles that could harm patients with weak immune systems.

To reduce the risk to your child, St. Jude will:

  • Wet the dirt and debris at work sites to reduce dust in the air
  • Use high-quality air filters in our buildings
  • Test the air often inside and outside the hospital, clinics, and housing
  • Increase shuttles to and from housing
  • Provide valet parking for families who drive to campus
  • Move walkways away from construction sites

To help protect your child, please:

  • Use shuttle buses: do not walk to and from the hospital
  • Go outside on campus only when necessary
  • Wear N95 or surgical face masks when outside or on shuttles
  • Stay inside while waiting for a car or shuttle
  • Use valet parking if you drive to campus

Construction of the new buildings will take several years. Both facilities will benefit our patients and families for years to come. Thank you for your help and patience as we make St. Jude an even better place for our patients, families, and staff.
