This Date in UCSF History: UCSF Expanding

By Synapse

Originally published in Synapse - The UCSF student newspaper on Oc.t 9, 1963. A long-range plan to meet the physical development needs of the San Francisco campus until 1980 was approved in principle by the Regents of the University at their September meeting in Santa Barbara. The Regents directed continuing development of the plan for later consideration in detail. Meanwhile, authorization was given for an essential first step: relocating to a site across Parnassus Avenue from Moffitt Hospital the building that will house the expanded Out Patient Clinics. This structure, on which work will begin after July 1, 1965, was to have been located behind the present Clinics Building.
