The renovation of the UCSF Clinical
Sciences Building hardens the building
seismically and reinvigorates the Cumulative
sustainable design principles of the 2050 Emissions
original design. This transformation will 2045 (TCO2e)
provide much-needed office space for 2040
clinical faculty and staff, while flexible, 20000
technology-rich classrooms and multi- 2035
purpose spaces will fill the lower two
public levels.
