San Francisco, CA
This new five story, 236,000 sf laboratory building at UCSF Mission Bay houses eight specialized cardiovascular research groups, a vivarium, and support space to bolster the Institute's research and training of scientists to become industry leaders. The design team met vibration requirements and achieved maximum economy and building performance. The team used integrated delivery to increase collaboration between the design team, the contractor's team, the university's inspector-of-record, and the state fire marshal.
“UCSF achieved substantial completion 10 weeks earlier than the original as-planned schedule. This achievement has been facilitated by the University’s Integrated Project Delivery model, incorporating Lean construction, use of BIM technology and Incentive programs—and of course an exemplary Project Team of Design and Construction Professionalism who have worked so diligently on this project.” —UCSF Assoc.
