Mayo Parking Ramp Closure in late July - Rochester MN

The Damon Parking Ramp will permanently close for demolition in late July. The actual date has not been announced. For those familiar with Rochester's Mayo campus, the Damon parking ramp is across the street from Gonda entrance on 3rd Ave SW.

The West Parking Ramp will be made available for patients when the Damon ramp closes. The West Parking Ramp is currently used for employee parking. Many Mayo employees who used to park downtown are being transition to parking lots in other parts of Rochester and being shuttled to Mayo locations.

The West Parking Ramp is still connected to Mayo buildings via subway, but it is few blocks farther away from the Gonda building. There will be Mayo employees present to assist with wheelchairs if needed. But with all the street construction and parking changes, you should plan according to arrive at your appointments on time.

The Graham parking ramp will remain open and valet parking will still be available for a charge. In addition, many visitors find they can avoid driving downtown altogether by taking advantage of free hotel shuttles,

I am not a Mayo employee, just a patient and volunteer mentor, but want to make you aware of the changes coming. As a patient who visits the downtown campus often, I face the same frustration with parking as many of you do. All I can do is be patient and plan ahead.
