Answer: In January 1997, the University of California Board of Regents adopted UCSF's Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) and certified its accompanying Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The adoption of the LRDP culminated a seven-year planning process during which UCSF worked with faculty, staff, neighbors, the public and three advisory groups to develop a long-range plan to guide the physical development of UCSF. The LRDP is intended to guide the physical development of UCSF over the next 15+ years, through the first decade of the 21st century. The overarching theme of the 1996 LRDP is to meet current and future space needs for the maintenance and growth of UCSF by providing space for the three main purposes:
To accomplish this, the LRDP sets forth a two-pronged strategy:
The LRDP describes three potential locations for a Major New Site. In May 1997 The Regents identified Mission Bay as the Major New Site, which is described in LRDP Amendment #1.
In January 2002, The Regents adopted LRDP Amendment #1 and the 2001 LRDP Update.
LRDP Amendment #1 facilitates the development of housing at the new Mission Bay campus by incorporating housing into the space program for that site, and including housing on the functional zone map which guides physical development there. The 2001 LRDP Update contains contemporary information on the locations of UCSF's major sites and buildings, and the amount of space occupied at each.
In March 2005, The Regents adopted LRDP Amendment #2 and the 2004 LRDP Update.
LRDP Amendment #2 incorporates the recommendations for future clinical uses at Parnassus Heights, Mission Bay and Mount Zion to address the physical needs of the UCSF Medical Center.
In July 2008, The Regents adopted LRDP Amendment #3 and the 2008 LRDP Update.
LRDP Amendment #3 incorporates the Mission Bay Planning Principles, describes the acquisition of additional property to expand the campus site to 57 acres, expands the campus site space program to reflect planned clinical uses, and updates the functional zone for the site.
Answer: UCSF is developing a major new campus at Mission Bay, containing 4.44 million gross square feet (gsf) of research and support uses, including housing for students and postdoctoral scholars. At least 8 acres of publicly-accessible open space will be located on the campus, and 2.2 acres are set aside for the San Francisco Unified School District for use as a public school site. Development of the entire campus may take 15-20 years, and an estimated 10,000 persons are expected to be employed at the Mission Bay campus at full buildout.
The first phase of development includes four research buildings (UCSF Genentech Hall, the California Institute for Quantitative Biomedical Research, Arthur & Toni Rembe Rock Hall, and the Helen Diller Family Cancer Research Building), a Campus Community Center, an adjacent parking structure, a student housing project, and the development of major open space areas. Further information on the Mission Bay campus may be found at the UCSF Mission Bay Website.
Answer: In April 1999, UCSF published the Mission Bay Master Plan and Design Guidelines, which provides an overall framework to guide the physical development of the Mission Bay campus, and sets forth basic principles to guide the design of individual buildings at the site. The Master Plan also serves as a guide to site grading and landscaping, and the phased development of infrastructure serving the site.
Answer: UCSF has adopted goals to provide housing for 40% of its student population and 25% of its postdoctoral scholar and postgraduate researcher population. UCSF currently provides housing for about 15% of the student body in single-student and family-student units at and around the Parnassus Heights site. The Long Range Development Plan calls for the preparation of a Housing Implementation Plan to describe ways in which UCSF might meet its housing goals. The UCSF Housing Implementation Plan was adopted in October 2004.
In November 2002, The Regents approved financing for a 430-unit housing project at the Mission Bay campus which will provide 754 single-student, family-student, and postdoctoral scholar beds, including 117 studios, 114 one-bedroom units, 131 two-bedroom units, 9 three-bedroom units and 59 four-bedroom units. The project includes four separate buildings: three mid-rise and one high-rise. Further information on campus housing can be obtained through the Campus Housing Office), at (415) 476-2231.
Answer: In September 2001, UCSF published the Mount Sutro Open Space Reserve Management Plan to serve as a guide to the long-term restoration and management of the 61-acre open space reserve at Parnassus Heights. As a first step in the implementation of the Management Plan, UCSF has planted the summit clearing at the top of the reserve with coastal scrub native plants funded by the Rotary Club of San Francisco. Rotary Meadow, as it is renamed, has been planted in two phases. Anyone interested in volunteering to help maintain the meadow or trails in the Reserve should contact Barbara Bagot-Lopez at UCSF Community and Governmental Relations, at (415) 476-8318.
Answer: UCSF is currently engaged in a long-range planning process to determine how to address existing functional deficiencies of Moffitt/Long Hospital, and respond to Senate Bill 1953 which imposes new seismic standards for inpatient medical facilities in California. The Chancellor has appointed an Advisory Committee to prepare recommendations for ultimate consideration by the University of California Board of Regents on the plan to replace of Moffitt/Long Hospitals, including the optimal configuration of academic programs at UCSF's major sites. The Chancellor's Advisory Committee,has been charged with:
Answer: Major construction projects at UCSF require review by Campus Planning to determine whether environmental review in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is necessary. Depending on the level of anticipated impact, some projects require an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), including public review. However the vast majority of renovation projects do not require a full EIR, but require instead a more limited environmental impact analysis, which may or may not require public review.General information on the University's CEQA process can be found at the Office of the President website.
Answer: The UCSF Medical Center continues to maintain clinical facilities at Mount Zion, including the Outpatient Cancer Center, the Women's Health Center, two medical office buildings, and 50 surgery beds in the Mount Zion Hospital.
As part of the current long-range planning effort for UCSF's inpatient medical facilities in light of state seismic requirements, UCSF has prepared a new Master Planning Study for the Mount Zion site which depicts several alternative ways in which that site might be used in various combinations of research, ambulatory care, inpatient, cooperative care (patient and patient-family housing), and parking uses. The Mount Zion Master Plan also incorporates plans for the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, into the Mount Zion site.
Answer: UCSF Campus Administrative Policy 600-20 establishes guidelines for the creation, installation, and maintenance of campus signs. The policy was created to ensure that campus signage meets requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), to establish a consistent identity for UCSF throughout all of its campus sites, and to assure consistency in campus sign systems. The policy applies to all UCSF entities, including the Medical Center, and to all campus sites. Policy 600-20 can be found on the UCSF Administrative Policy Website. Compliance with the policy is mandatory.
In order to simplify the process of ordering new and replacement campus signs and to ensure that they are in compliance with Campus Sign Policy, the UCSF Signage Standards Manual and Ordering Catalog (PDF file) is now available online. The online catalog includes an order form that departments can use to order signs through individual building managers, who are listed on the Facilities Management website. Medical Center departments should order signs by faxing the form along with a Medical Center Facilities Work Request to either the Parnassus or Mount Zion Medical Center Facilities Department.
Questions regarding the Campus Sign Policy and the Signage Standards Manual and Ordering Catalog may be directed to Campus Planning at 476-2911, Box 0286.
For Donor Signage requests please contact Stephanie Bruzzese, sbruzzese@support.ucsf.edu in the Development Office.
Answer: Information on parking and transportation at UCSF, including the procedure for applying for a parking permit, can be found at the Parking and Transportation Office website.
