Important Construction Updates

Driveways and parking spaces leading to UC Irvine Douglas Hospital’s main entrance are now open. While minor construction and landscaping projects will continue for a few more weeks, they should not impact the major entrances to UC Irvine Medical Center.

As construction continues at UC Irvine Medical Center, please keep several things in mind:

Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center. Beginning Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012, the main entrance to Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center will be closed for construction of the new portico and lobby expansion. During construction, cancer center patients should use the existing northeast entry door.

Patient and visitor parking. The parking spaces in front of Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Emergency Department are now open. Patients and visitors can also park in the parking structure on Dawn Way off The City Drive.

• For Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, the H.H. Chao Comprehensive Digestive Disease Center, ambulatory and the Emergency Department, valet is located north of Building 22C (Diagnostic Services Center).
• For Infusion Center patients and patients being discharged from the hospital, valet will be located at the UC Irvine Douglas Hospital west entrance.
