Economies of scale and network effects are powerful forces.

And if all goes as planned, the ground for the new hospital building will be broken in 2022 and be construction complete in 2029 (keep in mind that the existing Moffitt Hospital needs to be seismically retrofitted or decommissioned for inpatient care by 2030), followed by future building(s) to the north and west. They could have picked up the Kirkham project around the corner, for the housing, that would have netted almost 500Ksf and almost 500 units. No, it’s still there – it’s brown in the model bc it’s an existing building (lower left). I’m usually against NIMBY opposition, and the rest of the UCSF plan seems fine – but that tower has to go. UCSF has re-committed to the 2018 Mount Sutro Open Space Reserve Vegetation Management Plan to ensure the long-term health and sustainability of the Reserve for all of the community to enjoy. But faced with an aging campus; a need for more clinical, research and administrative space (particularly in light of having offloaded their Laurel Heights Campus); and a shortage of housing for its students and staff, UCSF is positioning to amend its Long Range Development Plan to allow for another 2.05 million square feet of space to be developed across the Parnassus Heights Campus as massed and rendered by Perkins Eastman below. In addition to 1.37 million square feet of net new clinical and research space, including a new hospital on the eastern edge of the campus, the proposed plan includes the development of 750 new housing units for students and staff, split between the Aldea Housing area near the top of Mount Sutro and along a restored 4th Avenue at the western side of the campus between Parnassus and Kirkham. SAN FRANCISCO—It was announced on Monday, January 4, that the city of San Francisco and the University of California-San Francisco (UCSF) reached a deal regarding the university’s expansion plans. However, UCSF has ignored the space cap commitment entirely, initially acting in bad faith by hiding the size and scale of its building plans, and instead focusing its disingenuous community outreach on trying to mitigate community opposition with small concessions. This seems very shortsighted to me. The new hospital will replace the existing, nearly 70-year-old Moffitt Hospital, which does not meet the state’s seismic code and must be decommissioned for inpatient care by 2030.

January 12, 2021 Two things became perfectly clear yesterday at a hearing on the UCSF expansion plan in Parnassus Heights: The amount of housing the university plans to build is woefully inadequate – and the city’s Memorandum of Understanding with the school is completely unenforceable. The Comprehensive Parnassus Heights Plan (CPHP), as UCSF calls it, is a vision that the university says will enhance its “research, education, and care delivery and contributes to the vibrancy of the neighborhood and the broader community,” which was stated in an October 2019 news release.

We are blessed to have a top 5 US medical center in the US, but they cant stay that way with a small, old and dilapidated campus. Is there (offsetting) demolition, too ??

The space cap commitment was meant to address the very real and important issue of growing an institution of UCSF’s magnitude on a small campus in a neighborhood composed primarily of residences and community green space. UCSF’s entire proposed building project is contingent upon UCSF unilaterally violating this 44-year-old commitment. UCSF is going above and beyond playing by the rules trying not to reduce the amount of existing green space, while trying to keep neighbors happy. Unless they’re murder hornets! Parnassus includes our 15-story hospital, Ambulatory Care Center, and Langley Porter Psychiatric Hospital and Clinics. What a wonderful project God knows we need a lot of healthcare and the place to do it and expand is at UCSF. Who said smaller? As UCSF begins to advance the Comprehensive Parnassus Heights Plan, the University will continue to collaborate with the community in the newly convened Advisory Committee for the Future of UCSF Parnassus Heights, comprising community leaders, neighbors, merchants and representatives of city agencies and non-profits. UCSF creates thousands of jobs, adds significant benefit to the community and the state, and indirectly responsible for hundreds of thousands of high paying biotech jobs in California. To you point, about transportation, it is well served by the 43, 6 and the N, but it’s a long way from Bay Area suburbs to get on BART, to Muni. After 110 years, you would think that a major building comes to define the neighborhood, and anyone that moved in after, shouldn’t really be surprised by the size and scale? And just because someone is against a project doesn’t make them an NIMBY, that’s too easy of a dismissal. This is a necessary project that will renovate outdated and seismically vulnerable buildings, provide new state-of-the-art facilities, and increase capacity to treat patients. It was disingenuous (or worse) for the spokesman to say that UCSF is a public university and could not use taxpayer money to save the art. Anyone who bought nearby and thought the institution would not eventually expand was smoking something. UCSF is proposing to unilaterally violate its 1976 “permanent” space cap commitment (which UCSF and current Chancellor Sam Hawgood reaffirmed in 2014) by building 1,500,000 sq.

And if supplying healthcare is the concern, then maybe those healthcare services should be more broadly spread throughout the city – you know, like keeping the Laurel Heights campus open?! if they were just building another clinic, maybe that would work but they are updating the entire research institution. The NIMBYs are in full display on this thread. I’m all for infill but against reducing our green space. There are ongoing public meetings with UCSF to raise these issues. Great point.

UCSF has not unloaded it, it has been leased for 99 years. Great progress – build it! Basically It is allow for more UCSF medical research facilities in SF or see them go to other Bay Area locales These jobs would be well paying and provide a boost to the tax base at a time when we likely will see a big exodus of tech jobs from SF.

UCSF recognized the pain and wanted to help, and thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors and many of you, we established the UCSF COVID-19 Relief Program for staff and learners in September.

These new buildings would encroach into the Mt. Worst case, rent it out! UCSF also will look to expand its High School Intern Program where SFUSD high school students participate in an eight-week paid summer internship and to expand its partnership with SFUSD to explore establishing comprehensive career pathway programs at high schools for students. its funny to hear people say the expansion is “out of proportion” with the neighborhood. they are bringing housing here which is desperately needed and not taking open space.

Fortunately, Willie Brown pulled a rabbit out of a hat and Catellus gave UC 40 acres at what was to become Mission Bay. In 1976, after neighbors sued over UCSF expansion plans, the regents agreed to a settlement that included this statement: “The total structures within the campus boundaries shall not exceed 3.55 million gross square feet (not including space committed to residential use…) and this limit shall be permanent.” Whatever “shadow fan” (I love that word) there is probably matches that of the hill closely.
