Parking

In front of the HAM-TMC Library are a few short-term (20 minute) parking spots. Beneath the HAM-TMC Library is Garage 3, which can be entered from Bertner Street (east side of library building). Both the short-term parking and Garage 3 are often full. The next-closest parking is in Garage 4. Located one-and-a-half blocks from the HAM-TMC Library, Garage 4 has entrances on both McGregor St. and Ross Sterling St. The Texas Medical Center (TMC) controls the Garages 3 and 4, as well as the short-term parking under the library building. See Parking Payment Options for TMC Visitors for information on parking fees.

Access for the Disabled

Parking for the disabled is available on the circular drive in front of the Library and in the parking garage. An elevator in the parking garage provides access to the Library via the 3rd floor crossover. (Please note that this garage elevator does not run on weekends.)

Front-Door Access
The elevator to the left of the front-door stairs makes the front door wheelchair accessible. Ring bell for assistance. An elevator inside the library provides access to the lower level, 1st and 2nd floors.
