Self-Parking at the Hospital
Nationwide Children’s Hospital has designated a parking lot for complimentary parking for SPUC registrants. Referred to as the ‘Church Lot’, the address is 200 E. Livingston Avenue, an .8 of a mile walk to Nationwide Children’s Hospital conference site. A free parking lot shuttle makes a loop between the lot and the conference site. Please allow more than enough time to park and walk/ride, as there is extensive construction taking place in the vicinity.
On Saturday 9/17, self-parking will move to the Orthopedic Center lot. This lot is visible from the conference center at 479 Parsons Avenue. Information sheets with maps will be available at the conference so self-parkers are prepared by Saturday.
