Revitalization of Parnassus Heights: Seismic Program Renovations

UC San Francisco's Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) was approved by the University of California Regents in late 2014. With this momentum, UCSF began to focus its attention on the Parnassus campus to address critical structural issues as one of the many phases of implementing the LRDP. The first objective is to seismically retrofit and renovate Clinical Sciences Building (CSB) by 2019 and UC Hall (UCH) upon completion of CSB. The combined investment in the Parnassus Seismic Renovation Program is around $400 million. See details below of each phase and the buildings impacted by renovations and relocations. These dates are approximate and will be updated regularly.

Timeline

CSB/UCH Building Occupancy Committee

The CSB/UCH Building Occupancy Planning Committee was appointed in December 2015. This committee is charged with providing advice and recommendations on building-wide occupancy planning issues to guide population distribution in the building. The committee will be involved in programming the use of the lower three floors of UCH, which have been designated for office-related uses. Working groups will be appointed once occupant groups have been finalized.
