- The small parking strip in front of MSOB - entered via Welch Road - has a few short-term pick-up and delivery spots, 4 metered parking spots, and several disabled parking spaces
- The Stockfarm parking lot, across the street on Welch Road between Campus Drive and Oak Road, has "A" permit spaces along Welch Road and a large quantity of "A" and "C" permit spaces, as well as "Pay and Display" visitor parking spaces within the lot itself. With the "Pay and Display" spots, you may purchase up to 8 hours of parking at the ticket machine ($12.00 maximum/day), and place the ticket on your dash. The machines accept Visa or MasterCard, bills, or coins; if you do not use your credit card, please bring cash in smaller denominations because these machines do not issue change.

Public Transit
- Stanford's free Marguerite Shuttle provides frequent service to the Medical Center from the Palo Alto CalTrain station at University Avenue and Stanford's main quad and has two lines, Line A and Line B, both of which stop near MSOB
- If riding CalTrain, get off at the Palo Alto station at University Avenue
- Line A gets to the Medical Center fastest, but lets you off behind the Hospital, near the Emergency entrance; get off at the second Med Center stop closer to the Clark Center, and you can walk to MSOB from here in about 5 minutes or so
- Line B stops in front of the Hospital which is closer to MSOB, but the shuttle takes a bit longer to get to that location
- MSOB is all the way down Welch Rd. on the left, where Welch intersects Campus Drive
