Parking
Over 2,250 spaces are provided in the 11-level Queen City Square Garage that serves both Great American Tower and 303 Broadway. The garage is located below the office buildings and extends north to Fourth Street. A total of 9 elevators in three separate elevator banks serve the parking garage.
The garage features entrances and exits on all four streets bordering the Queen City Square block, and these entrances directly serve three different levels of the garage (due to the slope of the site). This design provides for optimum convenience for parkers and minimizes backups when entering or exiting.
In addition to the on-site garage, numerous less expensive parking options exist in close proximity to the building.

Numerous retail stores, restaurants, private clubs, shops, hotels and parks are located within close proximity to the building. Drycleaning dropoff/pickup and shoe shine services are anticipated additional amenities.

The promenade connects to the office building lobby and also to Third Street via escalators and the Third Street lobby.

Access Control
The complex is staffed 24 hours per day and the office elevators are strategically separated from the garage elevators to enhance access control to the office floors. Cameras are installed to observe all perimeter entries to the both the building and the garage, as well as critical locations of the building.
During the workday, all users must pass the staffed lobby desks, discouraging unwanted visitors from entering the office buildings. After normal building hours, an access control system regulates entry to the building and use of the elevators.
Full floor tenants have the option to have the elevators programmed to require access cards at all or certain hours.
