Parking Garage Progress

STHS parking garage progress

As St. Tammany Health System's parking garage project along South Tyler Street takes shape, we will post regular construction updates to this page.
Check back regularly for progress reports as they are available.

Site preparation continues on the STHS parking garage project, with construction fencing and blue windscreen now completely ringing the site. In coming weeks, colleagues can expect to see:

  • Dirt work will continue ramping up ahead of any structural work, with fill delivery expected on-site as early as next week.
  • Sheet piles are still forthcoming around the independently operated urgent care across W. 11th Avenue from St. Tammany Parish Hospital to protect it during the construction process.
  • Auger-cast test piles, which will create no pounding or vibrations, are still planned on the garage site before construction begins in earnest.
  • Windscreen will be installed on the now-complete construction fencing around the largely vacant future site of the STHS Women and Children’s facility just south of the hospital on Louisiana 21, which will be used for staging of construction equipment for the garage project.
  • As always, colleagues are reminded to park only in designated parking spots and to always respect construction cones, tape, fencing, etc.

Site preparation continues on the STHS parking garage project. In coming weeks, you can expect to see:

  • Windscreens installed on the construction fencing ringing the site perimeter.
  • Additional site work, including the use of dirt fill, to further prepare the site for construction.
  • Installation of auger-cast test piles. (These piles require no pounding and thus produce no vibration.)
  • Installation of sheet piles around the privately owned urgent care facility located across W. 11th Avenue from the main campus Emergency Department (at center of image above), to protect it during construction.
  • Removal by utility companies of the utility poles on the garage site, all of which have been disconnected.
  • Installation of temporary construction fencing around the largely vacant future site of the STHS women and children’s facility just south of the hospital on Louisiana 21, which will be used for staging of construction equipment for the garage project.


Feb. 26, 2026: - With demolition of the old Northlake Surgical Associates facility entering the “cleanup” phase, neighbors can expect to soon see more site-preparation activity on the parking garage site starting as early as Monday. This includes:

  • Installation of auger-cast test piles.
  • Asphalt removal.
  • Grading of the garage site.
  • Other, related work.

Feb. 24, 2026: Crews begin removal of the old concrete foundation on the site of the demolished former Northlake Surgical Associates building, as seen Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2026, along with performing other cleanup from the building's demolition last week.

Feb. 20, 2026: Crews complete demolition of the former Northlake Surgical Associates practice, which was located on the future site of the parking garage. The accompanying photo shows the Northlake Surgical site around midday on Friday, Feb. 20 -- after demolition of the structure.

Feb. 7, 2026: Crews begin site mobilization. This will include:

  • Installation of fencing around the construction area.
  • Installation of stormwater protection infrastructure.
  • Demolition of the building that previously housed Northlake Surgical and Associates.
  • Installation of a test pile. (Of note: In deference to neighbors and hospital patients, the garage project will utilize auger-cast piles, which consists of drilling a hole and filling with steel cage and concrete – and which notably does not involve hammering or vibration.)


Jan. 12, 2026: To accommodate garage construction, St. Tammany Health System's Northlake Surgical Associates practice has relocated to 728 W. 11th Ave, just one block from its previous home on the site of what will become the garage. 


May 2024:  After years of planning and study, St. Tammany Health System announces to its colleagues that it is taking the first steps toward building a new parking garage to serve its flagship St. Tammany Parish Hospital in Covington. The five-level parking structure, to be located across W. 11th Ave. from the hospital's Emergency Department, is designed to serve the hospital's growing parking needs and provide a rooftop helistop closer to its Emergency Room, giving our team precious additional minutes in a critical care situation.
