A decade after opening its first research building at San Francisco's Mission Bay, UCSF has far surpassed its ambitious vision for a campus that today is an epicenter for science, health and hope.
This year, UCSF celebrates a decade of discovery at Mission Bay — a milestone that represents both a scientific renaissance and a significant revitalization of a once-blighted area in San Francisco's southeast sector.
Since breaking ground in 1999, the development of the $3 billion Mission Bay campus is considered the single most important endeavor that UCSF has undertaken in its nearly 150-year history.
It is a spectacular success story in San Francisco, the "city that knows how" to get things done. It is the largest development in the city, second only to the construction of Golden Gate Park. And it is one of the nation's largest university expansions.
UCSF Mission Bay exemplifies the university's ongoing quest to explore, examine and ultimately answer some of the most awe-inspiring and vexing questions of human health.
