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.

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.
