UCSF Mission Bay is the newest link in a campus chain that connects virtually every San Francisco neighborhood. The 43-acre campus, located in the midst of a 303-acre residential and business development, will support 20 structures dedicated to biomedical research and education. The first research building, UCSF Genentech Hall, on the southwestern portion of the site bordering 16th Street, opened in January 2003.
From the community’s standpoint, Mission Bay represents enormous opportunities for creative partnerships, employment, and cultural enrichment. For example, we expect the project to house 9,100 University employees, many of them in new jobs. This does not include jobs that may be created by the biotechnology and life sciences businesses that we expect to surround the campus.
The campus will also add to the cultural life of the neighborhood by reserving at least eight acres of publicly accessible open space, devoting one percent of the $1-2 billion in construction costs to a public arts program, and providing conference and recreational facilities for community members in addition to the campus community.
The Community Advisory Group (CAG), which was reconfigured to include members who live near Mission Bay, has been and continues to offer input on all stages of campus planning.

In an effort to assist the Mission Bay campus community access goods and services nearby, the Community Partnerships Program held a vendor exhibit at Genentech Hall in July of 2004. Occupants of Genentech Hall and other Mission Bay buildings got a chance to meet local vendors and sample their wares. Feel free to contact these vendors in the link above if you can’t find what you are looking for through Campus Life Services.
