Clinical Sciences Building

        Size: 110,240 sf

        Completion: 2021 est.
        Market: Higher Education



        The renovation of the UCSF Clinical
        Sciences Building hardens the building
        seismically and reinvigorates the
        sustainable design principles of the
        original design. This transformation will
        provide much-needed office space for
        clinical faculty and staff, while flexible,
        technology-rich classrooms and multi-
        purpose spaces will fill the lower two
        public levels.



        Lessons Learned
         1  The thermal comfort, ventilation,
           and daylighting paradigms of historic
           buildings can yield great insights into
           passive design opportunities.


         2  Innovative structural approaches can
           limit programmatic impacts of seismic
           renovations.

         3  Engage the contractor early in site-
           constrained projects with seismic
           connections to existing buildings.


        4  Clearly document and define the
           extent of below grade waterproofing
           and decisions made with the Owner
           during the design phase.
