Amazing architecture and great facilities. I’m jealous of the view from the grad school lounge

As a patient of the dentistry school, they pay for my parking. But I could understand how $22 for parking at a place where you are paying thousands for schooling would be outrageous.

That said, I have had nothing but great service from amazing, kind, and wonderful people here. I love how you have the philosophy of several dentists working on your dental health instead of going to 1 dental office with just his/her idea of what the best is for you. Especially if you don't know that dentist.

It does take longer to get thru the process but they let you know that up front. So if you want fast cosmetic work, this isn't the place. But if you want a great plan for your overall dental health, and you want a good price and great people, than this is the place. Oh, and the views from the dental chair aren't bad either.

Amazing architecture of all the OHSU and each building I've been in is gorgeous! I feel very grateful to be a patient here. All the Staff from parking attendees to customer service to nurses & Dr.'s they are polite, respectful and kind .

Have received excellent, state-of-the-art care from some wonderful student providers and their professors. Two sets of dentures, 10 yr.s apart.

This is a very cool example of modern architecture at work. I love how the different spaces from bike parking, to lobbies, to cafes all maximize use and aesthetic appeal.

Patients of the doctors in the building receive free valet parking, which makes a visit much less stressful. For free parking itself though, patients need to get their parking validated at their doctor's office, otherwise parking has an hourly rate.

If you are doing site seeing on the south water front, definitely check this building out, and the surrounding grounds which have numerous large scale art installations.

Cool building but the parking fees are absolutely horrendous.

I was going to be late for class so I decided I would just park in the their parking structure and pay whatever, I was thinking yeah its probably like $1.60 an hour, maybe $2 no biggie. WRONG. This parking structure charges $4 an HOUR!!!! and there are no increments by half hour or anything so I was there for barely over 2 hours and had to pay $12!!!! Are you kidding me? This is some serious greed.

Whoever manages the pricing on this has very little integrity and quite Greedy. $4 an hour is not affordable, especially not for a student who needs to occasionally park in your (almost empty) garage. Its not even in a high traffic area, its on the south waterfront- there is no justification for such inflated pricing. YOU ARE GREEDY.

I absolutely love the OHSU school of dentistry. The services I've received are top notch. If there is ever an issue, it is addressed promptly.

Made out of garbage (so sustainable!) with train station/food court acoustics for an optimal study environment. Remarkably, they somehow turned access for individuals with disabilities into a fun and challenging game for all ages to enjoy. The building planners had the foresight to forego the impracticality of healthy, affordable dining options in favour of not one, but TWO Starbuckses - so students can get their American healthcare system-priced pumpkin-spiced whatever fixes to get them through lectures (the brain can't run on anything but glucose, after all!). Apparently an Elephants delicatessen is opening soon, in case anybody was worried that there wouldn't be a place to spend $18 on lunch. People often laud MC Escher for his practical designs that put the viewer at ease, so I'm glad the architects drew so much inspiration from his work.
