We can move to under construction as soon as foundation work on the actual building begins, but not for adjacent sites.

Demolition Underway For UC Parnassus Heights Hospital And Research Building

BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON JANUARY 1, 2024

Demolition and excavation work is underway for two major projects in the UCSF Parnassus Heights campus in San Francisco. Crews finished removing the seven-story UC Hall, and only a corner of the four-story ​​Mental Health Services building remains as of our visit. The sites are expected to be transformed into a research building and hospital, with both scheduled to finish by 2028 and 2030, respectively.

The two developments are part of the UC Parnassus Heights campus expansion plan. The third project includes improvements to the two Health Science Instruction and Research towers.

...

The New Hospital Parnassus Heights will rise at 401 Parnassus Avenue next to the existing Hospital at 505 Parnassus Avenue. The eye-catching 15-story tower is designed by Herzog & de Meuron, with HDR as the architect of record. The terracotta-clad building will feature an asymmetrical tripart layout. The podium will be wrapped with fluted panels and horizontal window bands. The next four curtain-wall-clad floors will be setback from the podium, making way for a landscaped open space with ivy climbing up the thin four-story columns. Crowning the hospital with be six levels with stepped terraces facing east and west.

The 1.5 million square foot structure will increase the campus’s bed capacity to 682 beds, create 71 emergency department bays, add a new ICU facility, and produce rooms for general and specialized patient care.

Now THAT is going to stand out (and all the UCSF buildings already do as it is).

Agreed. It will be the flagship, both medically and architecturally, of all the hospitals in California.

Walked down Stanyan today and saw UCSF in the distance, spent like 10 minutes imagining it among the cluster of UCSF buildings. Considering Hayes Point is on hold, Mission Rock is almost done, and no other huge projects are breaking ground anytime soon, this one is getting me really excited! Gonna make a great addition to the cityscape.

Construction Underway For $4.3 Billion UCSF Parnassus Heights Expansion, San Francisco



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON JUNE 10, 2024

Construction has started for the $4.3 billion UCSF Parnassus Heights Hospital expansion in San Francisco. The official groundbreaking ceremony was held over a month ago, and foundation work is now underway. Once complete, the 15-story medical center will offer hundreds of new patient beds and care units.

...

Our last site visit at the start of this year showed that the demolition of the former Langley Porter Psychiatric Hospital was nearly complete as crews prepared the site for construction. The official groundbreaking ceremony was held in late April, with House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis, and Mayor London Breed in attendance. Foundation work is moving along now, with two construction cranes and two foundation drilling rigs spotted on-site last week. The hospital is expected to open by 2030.

The rising 15-story structure is designed by Herzog & de Meuron, with HDR as the architect of the record. The terracotta-clad tower will come together like an asymmetrical wedding cake, with a fluted-panel base at the bottom, a four-story middle of curtain-wall glass, and a top layer of stepped terraces with seven floors of patient care units. From the top, patients and employees will be able to see the other major project by Herzog & de Meuron, the twisting copper-clad de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park.

The updated renderings. Very minor changes. Glad it looks mostly the same with no obvious value engineering.

I noticed the renderings on the H&dM site as well as a recent blog post about the ground breaking from UCSF show different renderings from the ones above now with green tile and a few other changes. I wonder which ones are the most up to date? I personally really like the green.









I downsized the images a bit but the full size renders are on the H&dM site + some more angles.
