Staff-only hospital parking with swipe-card access, accessible bays, and 24/7 lighting.
NHS Staff Car Park 1 is a dedicated facility for University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire staff and official visitors. The lot features 200 sealed asphalt bays, including eight accessible spaces positioned adjacent to the hospitals main entrance walkway for quick access to wards. Access control is enforced via NHS staff swipe cards; unauthorized vehicles are towed. Solar-powered LED floodlights illuminate all aisles from dusk until midnight to support shift changeovers. A network of eight CCTV cameras monitors entrances, accessible bays, and key pedestrian routes to maintain security. Covered signage at the entrance displays hospital contact information, bus timetables for services to the city centre, and shift handover times. Pedestrian pathways link directly to the hospital main lobby and emergency department within a three-minute walk. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter clearance to maintain a secure environment for healthcare staff.
