Parking reconfiguration, and more!
Effective Monday, December 2, valet parking services will relocate from the Emergency Department entrance to the hospital main entrance. Valet hours will be 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
BSWH Public Safety will increase rounds and enforce parking in high-priority patient areas to ensure the safety of patients who need to access services on the Round Rock campus.
Looking ahead, 200 additional parking spaces will open in January 2025, which will significantly improve convenience and ease of parking on the campus.
Wayfinding: The first-floor main visitor corridor has reopened, improving navigation for patients and visitors alike. Temporary walls on floors 2-4 have also been removed, expanding the elevator lobbies and waiting areas.
Patient tower expansion: This phase of our expansion is on track for a February go-live, and it includes a new main entrance, additional medical/surgical beds, a women’s ante/postpartum unit, and new spaces for graduate medical education and nursing professional development.

Please follow directional signage on the floors and walls to help you get to the elevator bank and cafeteria. Should you require wheelchair assistance, please feel free to request one at the information desk.

New temporary Emergency Department entrance opens; valet parking to be introduced
The plan to expand our hospital and renovate our Emergency Department (ED) is underway, with the opening of a temporary entrance to the ED on June 27. As part of this phase of construction, a new valet parking system will begin July 3.
This free service for patients and visitors will be available 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week. When arriving on campus seeking emergency care, drivers should follow the ED directional signage to the valet drop-off area. This will benefit those requiring mobility assistance and enhance the convenience of accessing the new entrance area.
This part of the renovation will augment patient care and allow for more space and new technologies. Construction is anticipated to be completed in 2025.
In addition to renovations outside, this portion of the construction project will also change how patients and visitors reach their final destinations to/from the ED inside the medical center campus. Please pay close attention to wayfinding signs when arriving on campus, and don’t hesitate to ask any staff member for assistance.

Revised traffic flow at medical center entrance
On April 17, traffic flow in front of the medical center will be reconfigured. Drivers will still be able to access the drop-off/pick-up loop at the main entrance, but should look for new directional signage as exiting the loop will become a one-way traffic flow. Pedestrian walkways around the construction site will also be marked. This reconfiguration will not impact the number of ADA parking spots or the pathway to access the medical center.
April 3: Physician parking update
On April 3, current physician parking will be closed and relocated to a new lot in the northeast corner of campus. This relocation of parking will not decrease the number of spots available for our patients and visitors. Additionally, outdoor dining and the adjacent healing garden will also close on April 3. A temporary outdoor dining option with picnic tables will be available at the 302 University Blvd. clinic entrance area.
