Directions to Mount Nittany Medical Center During Event Traffic

If you are traveling to Mount Nittany Medical Center during Penn State home football game traffic, please note that access will be different this season. Mount Nittany Medical Center staff worked with University Police and Public Safety and the State College Police Department to establish a new access route using Orchard Road to help patients, visitors and staff reach the Medical Center more efficiently during event traffic.

Important: If you are experiencing a medical emergency while trying to get to the hospital, call 911 immediately so emergency responders can assist you at your location.

New this season, Orchard Road will be used as the primary access route to Mount Nittany Medical Center during home football game traffic patterns.

Here’s what to know:

• From the intersection of Puddintown Road and Orchard Road, the right lane on Orchard Road will be designated for Mount Nittany Medical Center patient and staff access northbound to Park Avenue.
• At the same intersection, the left lane on Orchard Road will run northbound to the entrance of Parking Lot 33.
• Vehicles may continue to travel southbound from Park Avenue to Lot 33 as usual, but they will not be able to proceed farther south than Lot 33.
• This traffic pattern will be in place on Saturday mornings through the end of the game, consistent with other football game-day traffic adjustments.
