Memorial Hermann The Woodlands' new main entrance is at the new South Tower and faces south toward Medical Plaza Drive, near the southbound feeder road of I-45. The Pinecroft Drive entrance to the west remains open for patient pick-up and drop-off as well. In addition, 9250 Pinecroft Drive will remain the facility's address as it has been since the opening in 1985. Complimentary valet parking moved from the Pinecroft Entrance to the South Tower entrance on May 23, 2022.
A new, 7,416-square-foot skybridge connects the new tower to Parking Garage 2 (in front of MP2), which will contain two additional levels of parking in 2021. Total parking spots on campus are now 3,412.
The new South Tower will also allow for renovation and expansion of 137,952 square-feet in other areas of the hospital, including:
- Food and Nutritional Services
- Imaging
- Surgery support
- Pharmacy
- Inpatient care areas
We are extremely excited at how this will further enhance patient experience, which begins the moment someone visits our campus. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we open the South Tower and continue renovation on campus.
