Later this summer, a major construction project is scheduled to begin in the parking garage at the Baltimore VA Medical Center (VAMC) that will require the garage to be closed until the completion of the project (approximately 2 to 3 months). The project will involve replacing the concrete on the P1 entrance ramp as a result of deteriorating concrete due to 30 years of exposure to salt and weather.
During the closure of the Baltimore VAMC parking garage, all patients will be able to park at the Metro West garage located at 610 W. Saratoga Street. The Metro West garage is the former site of the Social Security Administration and is just two blocks away from the Baltimore VAMC. The valet parking service will be available for patient use at the Metro West garage, and a handicap accessible shuttle service will run between the Metro West garage and the front entrance of the Baltimore VAMC with regular pickups and drop-offs. The Metro West garage will have onsite parking attendants and security coverage.
All patients will receive a notification in the mail with the exact date the Baltimore VAMC parking garage will close so they know when to start driving to the Metro West garage for their clinic appointments at the Baltimore VAMC. This mailing will include the directions to the Metro West garage. Once this occurs, patients will be encouraged to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to their scheduled clinic appointment to avoid being late or missing their appointment due to the increased travel time between the two facilities.
With any major project there are going to be questions and concerns, but we will be providing ongoing updates to keep you informed throughout the process. Please look for updates in the mail or on our website at www.maryland.va.gov. You can also hear updates on our Parking Garage Information Line at 410-605-7103.
We apologize for any inconvenience the construction may cause you, but it is imperative for us to maintain a safe environment for our patients, employees, volunteers and visitors.
Thank you for your support and cooperation.
