About MCW

MCW Staff and Visitor Parking has merged into one lot on the east side of 87th Street. Parking lot access points are located at two locations: on the north side of the lot at Watertown Plank Road and on the south side of the lot at Connell Avenue. Each access point will have an intercom system for visitor use. Visitors may park anywhere in the parking lot, but MCW recommends the parking structure as the most expedient method to find a parking spot midday.

Please note that the Watertown Plank Road access point does not have a westbound entrance or exit option. Visitors coming to campus from the east via Watertown Plank Road must turn left on 87th Street, drive past MCW and turn left at Connell Avenue to enter the parking lot from the south. Visitors needing to travel west on Watertown Plank Road from campus must exit the parking lots at the main exit on 87th Street or to the south on Connell Avenue.

Vehicles coming from Watertown Plank Road can access MCW’s front circle drive and MCW handicap parking via MCW’s north driveway located just south of bus stop #6486. Vehicles coming from Wisconsin Avenue can access the front circle drive and handicap parking via Connell Avenue, passing in front of the Hub for Collaborative Medicine.

While the circle drive has a very limited number of 10-minute parking spots, it is mainly for pickup and drop-off. Visitors staying for a longer period of time should use the Staff & Visitor Parking directions to park in MCW’s surface parking lot or parking structure.
