Why did the Med Center Express stop on the north side of Meiling Hall move in front of the Hospitals Parking Garage?
Transportation and Parking and Medical Center administration worked closely to pick a location that would minimize conflict for patients and visitors, expedite the bus to and from the Buckeye Lot, provide sheltered waiting for passengers, and is centrally located to numerous Health Service buildings. The present location of the stop is accessible to almost every building via a covered walkway (the new corridor from the garage to the Ross), and visually it is easier for the passengers to see the bus coming, but also for the drivers to see passengers arriving from various locations in the Medical Center. New construction will be continuing around the Medical Center area of campus with the Fry Hall expansion, Prior Health Sciences Library and the new Heliport on top of Rhodes Hall. Continuing to drive up 10th Avenue will be impossible within the next few months once the Fry Hall expansion begins, and the preference of both T&P and the OSU Medical Center is to minimize the number of times
