WHY RE-ENVISION PARNASSUS HEIGHTS? Aging buildings and infrastructure are at risk and costly to maintain. Updating older buildings to fulfill regulatory compliance is challenging Building overcrowding, lack of quality spaces. The required new hospital building adds pressure to the already constrained site Contemporary research spaces have been lacking for decades; recruitment and retention issues are major concerns Sustainable growth is necessary to maintain campus as a world-class research hub The campus physical environment needs improvement and should leverage its location between Golden Gate Park and Mount Sutro The campus could provide more community benefits and amenities , such as open space connections, wellness and public programs 7 Advisory Committee for the Future of UCSF Parnassus Heights Campus Meeting #3

NEAR-TERM PROJECTS: NEW HOSPITAL AT PARNASSUS HEIGHTS Investing in UCSF Health’s future is critical to sustaining our public mission of providing top- quality care to all patients and supporting research and education. It allows us to maintain a hospital on San Francisco’s west side to serve this community and preserve emergency services. Our patient census is at record highs. It’s essential that we expand access to accommodate increasing patient demand. Providing quality facilities is critical to retaining, as well as recruiting top-tier clinicians, staff, researchers and students. Moffitt Hospital was built in 1955. Our physicians and staff are currently working in facilities that are outdated, undersized and clinically obsolete. State seismic laws require Moffitt Hospital to be structurally retrofitted or decommissioned as an inpatient facility by 2030. 19 Advisory Committee for the Future of UCSF Parnassus Heights Campus Meeting #3
NEAR-TERM PROJECTS: RESEARCH AND ACADEMIC BUILDING The Research and Academic Building (RAB) would provide new research space recommended by the Research Space Working Group and “empty chair” space to help decompress, decant, and renovate other space. Research + Academic Building The RAB will allow the first increments of the Promenade and new Fourth Avenue to be constructed. Building program, adjacency requirements, construction logistics, and utility/infrastructure needs will examined in a validation study currently underway. 20 Advisory Committee for the Future of UCSF Parnassus Heights Campus Meeting #3
