At UCSF Real Estate, we acquire, plan, design and build physical environments that support the UCSF mission of advancing health worldwide and shape planned University growth on a multi-site and multi-city campus.
We create spaces for our researchers, learners, educators, caregivers, staff, patients and families that are welcoming, easy to navigate and sustainably built, in collaboration with the broader UCSF community and our surrounding neighbors.
We strive to create an organizational culture that is aligned with UCSF’s PRIDE Values of Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Diversity and Excellence. As a team, we aspire to be the best in full-service planning, real estate, design, and construction focusing on healthcare, research, and education.
How UCSF Designed an Academic Research Building Inspired by San Francisco's Nature
Inspired by Karl the Fog and UCSF’s Mount Sutro Open Space Reserve, the new UCSF Barbara and Gerson Bakar Research and Academic Building (BRAB) draws deep from the inspiration of its surroundings to create something completely new in the heart of our historic campus – a state-of-the-art translational research facility and academic building designed in harmony with the surrounding local ecology.
