UC San Francisco has released the latest architectural designs for a state-of-the-art hospital at Parnassus Heights, marking a milestone in its vision for a medical center to meet the growing health care needs of the San Francisco Bay Area.
The conceptual images from design consultants Herzog & de Meuron and architect of record HDR, which UCSF selected to design the new hospital, are being released to coincide with the publication of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR), opening a 60-day public comment period on Dec. 16, 2021.
The new hospital at UCSF Helen Diller Medical Center at Parnassus Heights will be the centerpiece of a comprehensive plan to transform the entire campus that continues to drive innovations in care delivery, discovery and health sciences education and honors the University’s longstanding commitment to the community. In January, UCSF reached a Memorandum of Understanding with the city that will strengthen the community by addressing priorities like mental health, housing, transit, jobs and workforce development.
UCSF expects to seek approval of the project by the UC Board of Regents in 2022. If all goes according to plans, construction could begin in 2023.
