Key insight about the project goes here
Renowned for its Department of Ophthalmology, the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) sought to unite its vision programs under one roof, bringing together faculty, researchers and clinician-scientists who provide leading patient care. It selected a site adjacent to the existing Mission Bay campus, a resurgent area busy with pedestrian activity and adjacent to the new Chase Center, home to the National Basketball Association’s Golden State Warriors.
The Valley Center for Vision responds beautifully to this range of users, needs and neighbors. The building design is inspired by its dual functionality and the duality of its site, which transitions between the institutional scale of the UCSF medical buildings to the west and the Chase Center to the north and the more traditional residential scale of the Dogpatch neighborhood to the south.
