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:

From August 20 to September 10, Cambridge Street between 36th Avenue and 37th Avenue will be closed. Cambridge Street runs north/south about 3 blocks east of Rainbow Boulevard. On-site signage will clearly mark driving detours. P5 will remain open during this closure.

  • From I-35 exit at 7th Street Trafficway/Rainbow Boulevard.
    • Turn south on 7th Street Trafficway and continue onto Rainbow Boulevard.
    • Turn east (left) on W. 36th Avenue.
    • Turn south (right) on Eaton Street.
    • Turn east (left) on W. 37th Avenue.
    • Turn south (right) on Cambridge Street.

As always on our busy campus, please allow yourself plenty of time for parking.
