Parking for patients and hospital visitors on game days
SAFEAUTO Garage and Wexner Medical Center Garage are reserved solely for patients and hospital visitors on game days.
The State Route 315 exit ramp to Medical Center Drive will remain open during game days; however, there may be temporary closures of the State Route 315 exit ramp to Lane Avenue during game days due to traffic congestion and safety concerns. Follow the directions of traffic control officers. Emergency traffic, along with staff arriving to work, will be permitted to exit at Lane Avenue and may be required to show ID to law enforcement officers.
Emergency or Labor and Delivery on game days
Labor and Delivery After-Hours Arrival: If arriving between 5 p.m. and 6 a.m. on football game days, please enter through the Emergency Department located on the north side of The James, accessible from 12th Avenue via the road between the Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute and Harding Hospital (Davis Drive). We recommend that you valet park. You can also self-park in the nearby 12th Avenue Garage and take the covered pedestrian walkway on the ground level to the Emergency Department entrance.
If traveling to the Emergency Department or Labor and Delivery during an Ohio State football home game, please contact Ohio State University Police at 614-292-2121 and notify them of your pending arrival. You'll be asked to provide your travel route, vehicle description and/or license plate number with an estimated time of arrival in order to alert traffic officers and help facilitate your arrival through game day traffic.
