The University Hospital is located on UMDNJ's 46-acre Newark campus. Physician
appointments are accomodated at the Doctors Office Center (DOC), an eight-floor
medical office building housing the practices of the New Jersey Medical School
faculty. Surgical procedures are conducted at University Hospital, the 466-bed
flagship hospital of the Medical School and in the Same Day Surgery suites
at the Doctors Office Center.
Parking is safe and plentiful at a 1,000-vehicle parking garage, immediately
adjacent to the DOC. However, hi-top vehicles cannot be accommodated
in the Garage. If you are arriving in that type of van, please use Valet Parking
at the main entrance of the hospital or the designated handicapped parking
spaces (if you have the appropriate permit) immediately adjacent to the main
entrance of the hospital. The DOC is just a short walk across the courtyard
from these parking areas.
