UCSF Long Term Development Plan Approved, Inner Sunset Highlights

Topics in the Inner Sunset:ucsf medical center_300x215

§  Building a new seismically safe hospital at Parnassus Heights to replace Moffitt Hospital as an acute-care facility, and re-purposing Moffitt Hospital for non-patient activities.  The new hospital will be built on the current site of the Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute after relocation of those functions, and connected to Long Hospital.

§  More than doubling campus housing for students, postdoctoral scholars, clinical residents and faculty, from 222 to 551 at Parnassus Heights and from 431 to 954 at Mission Bay by 2035.  The plans include converting UC Hall and the Millberry Union towers into housing over time, as well as constructing new housing at both the Parnassus Heights and Mission Bay campus sites. The plan also excludes all residential space from the so-called space ceiling calculation, regardless of where it is located on campus, to help meet UCSF’s own housing goals and support city-wide housing goals.

§  Making improvements to the public spaces at Parnassus Heights, including implementation of the Parnassus Avenue Streetscape Plan, which will enhance pedestrian and bicycle safety, improve transit and UCSF shuttle operations, and create more usable outdoor space.

§  Continue to manage the Mount Sutro Open Space Reserve as permanent open space and create new and restored trails
