The Board of Regents at the University of Michigan recently approved the construction of a new, $35-million parking structure for its Medical Campus in Ann Arbor, Mich., according to a university news release. It will provide 570 new spaces for visitors to the D. Dan and Betty Kahn Pavilion and is scheduled for completion in winter 2026. The university partnered with Walker Consultants for the building’s design.

Funding comes from U-M Health and Logistics, Transportation & Parking resources. It will be built in the space currently occupied by a 50-space surface lot and an academic building under demolition.

“We are very happy that this Zina Pitcher garage will support the additional employee and patient parking needs that come with the opening of the D. Dan and Betty Kahn Health Care Pavilion in late 2025,” said Marschall S. Runge, dean of the Medical School and executive vice president of medical affairs for the university. “We expect this will help address increasing demand for additional parking spaces from our patients and employees. We hope these 570 additional places to park will improve everyone’s experience on our Medical Campus.”

Local news reports that the Kahn Health Care Pavilion project will cost a total of $920 million. It will add 690,000 square feet and more than 260 beds to the university’s main medical campus. The hospital has an estimated completion date of fall 2025 and will provide specialty services for neuroscience, cardiovascular, and thoracic care, according to local news.
