The University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Medical Center at Mission Bay is proving that big doesn't necessarily mean inefficient, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
The $1.5 billion LEED-Gold certified facility covers 878,000-square-foot and houses UCSF's cancer, women’s and children’s hospitals.
While many previous large facilities stressed comfort, this new generation of facilities equally concentrates on efficiency and consolidation of services, the article said.
The form of the six-story medical center was determined by local height restrictions and the facility stretches nearly 800 feet long. The three hospitals are arranged side-by-side, each with its own entrance and elevator core.
