BHS Prepares for Reopening of Medical Arts Complex Entry, Parking Area

Print Story | Email Story
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — As the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (DOT)'s North Street rotary construction project nears completion, Berkshire Health Systems has announced the timeline for its own campus improvement project that will expand parking and access for its Medical Arts Complex (MAC) adjacent to Berkshire Medical Center. 
 
The MAC parking area, which has been expanded and repaved, will reopen to patient traffic on Monday, Sept. 8, 2025. There will be dozens more spaces than in the previous lot, and the spaces will be wider to better accommodate the size of current vehicles. Additionally, the second-floor entrance to the MAC building, located next to the parking lot, will reopen on Sept. 8. The MAC lot will be accessible from Charles Street for both entry and egress.
 
Following the opening of the North Street rotary later this fall, BHS will open a new exit that leads from the MAC to the rotary. The main driveway of Berkshire Medical Center, which has been closed throughout much of the rotary project, will reopen when the project has been completed, estimated in late September.
 
BHS recommends that patients and visitors refer to the updated map for full details of traffic patterns and parking information, available at: https://www.berkshirehealthsystems.org/bhs-campus-maps/
