Queen’s/KGH (Stuart Street) underground parking garage renovations affect number of available spaces

Major repairs and upgrades to the 570-space Queen’s University/KGH (Stuart Street) Underground Parking Garage are underway to help ensure its safety and long-term use.

The garage will stay open during the 18 to 24-month project but there are now fewer spots available during peak weekday hours. The work is being completed in phases to minimize the impact on garage users and to maximize the number of spaces available for hospital patients, families and visitors, who are the primary users of the garage.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding.

Frequently asked questions
