UCSF Long Range Development Plan Workshop


Join us for community workshops to plan for UCSF’s future:

Community Workshop – Mission Bay
Thursday, October 25
7:00 PM
Rock Hall

(Across street from Mission Housing)

UCSF’s Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) guides the University’s physical development to support its mission of advancing health worldwide. The most recent LRDP was adopted in 1996 to guide development through 2012. UCSF is now embarking on its next LRDP, which has an expected planning horizon of about 20 years. Community involvement is a key facet of this planning process.

These Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) community workshops are the ideal setting for our neighbors to listen to UCSF proposals, ask questions, and provide feedback. Additional community meetings will be scheduled through Spring 2013.
The Draft Proposed LRDP Planning Principles for the new LRDP build on the success of the 1996 LRDP Goals and Objectives and 2008 Mission Bay Planning Principles as a guide for community involvement and consultation on development projects to be implemented by UCSF through 2035.

Founded in 1992 to provide guidance on the 1996 LRDP, the UCSF Community Advisory Group (CAG) continues to serve as the backbone of the community process. Please see the CAG page for information about CAG meetings.

UCSF is embarking on its next LRDP, which has an expected planning horizon of about twenty years. Anticipated growth during this time period will be estimated so potential strategies to address it can be identified and analyzed. Historic growth rates may decline in the upcoming years due to resource constraints and other factors.
The upcoming LRDP will likely include plans to:
  • Address seismically poor and very poor buildings
  • Optimize the use of existing campus sites (land and entitlements) and existing campus space
  • Articulate a strategy for leased locations
  • Consider potential expansion through property acquisition and development
  • Facilitate campus growth while reducing carbon emissions to respond to environmental sustainability and Climate Action Plan goals
To guide the development of the LRDP, a campus oversight committee has been appointed to provide recommendations to the UCSF Chancellor. Three subcommittees will be assisting the oversight committee in key topic areas: instruction planning, research planning, and clinical facilities planning. The membership of the oversight committee and its subcommittees are shown in the following links.
The Regents require an analysis of the potential environmental impacts that could result from implementation of the LRDP, as mandated by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a state law setting forth specific requirements for such environmental review. Currently, UCSF expects to publish a draft of its next LRDP along with its associated Draft Environmental Impact Report in 2013. In the meantime, background reports and other material generated for the Draft LRDP will be posted on this website as they become available.
