Residential Sound Reduction Program (RSRP) for Helicopter Operations
for documents regarding the hospital design process.
UCSF has developed a Residential Sound Reduction Program in consultation with the community to address the potential impact of helicopter noise from the proposed helipad. UCSF hosted community meetings Wednesday, November 19, and Thursday, December 11, 2008 to solicit community feedback on the draft RSRP. Meeting announcements were emailed to a neighborhood listserv of over 450 people, including key neighborhood organizations, and two postcard notices were sent to 260 nearby residences (owners and tenants) and 34 absentee owners. UCSF staff also conducted door-to-door outreach and phone calls to invite community members to attend the meetings and to discuss the proposed program. UCSF revised the program in response to this feedback.

UCSF plans to build a 289-bed, integrated hospital complex to serve children, women and cancer patients near its existing, 43-acre biomedical campus at Mission Bay. Upon completion of the first phase in late 2013 or early 2014, plans for the 869,000-plus-gross-square-foot hospital complex include:
Located just south of the existing UCSF research campus (bounded by Mariposa, 16th, 3rd, and the future Owens Street)., UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay will provide a world-class, sophisticated, efficient, flexible and family-centered healing environment. The hospital complex will provide comprehensive diagnostic, interventional and support services, and use advanced robotic and imaging technology during surgery - all in an environment centered around the compassionate care of patients and their families.
The hospitals’ integration with the existing biomedical campus will strengthen benchto-bedside and bedside-to-bench collaboration among basic scientists, clinical researchers and physicians. The collaboration of multidisciplinary medical specialists will create a rich environment for new discoveries in the care of fetal, pediatric, maternal, women and cancer patients.
In September 2008, the University of California Board of Regents approved the project’s design, budget, and environmental certification. Please see press release for more information.
From the beginning, the hospital planning process has involved members from the community, including the Community Advisory Group (CAG). We have hosted many meetings for neighbors to provide input on the design of the hospital, and responded to community feedback by making major changes to the site plan and building design.
