Project description

Home to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Department of Neurology, the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases, and the W.M. Keck Foundation Center for Integrative Neuroscience, the Sandler Neurosciences Center, located in the Mission Bay Innovation District, is one of the largest neuroscience complexes in the world.

Through a collaborative effort, Edgemoor partnered with the University to develop, finance, design, construct, and manage the Sandler Neurosciences Center on UCSF’s Mission Bay Campus. Edgemoor was responsible for coordinating all of the development activities including entitlements, permitting, design management, asset management, and oversight of final delivery and building occupancy. The 237,000 square-foot building has both clinical and laboratory research space, BSL-3 space, a vivarium, auditorium, and support/office space.
