Health Commission endorses 2014 update to San Francisco General Hospital Institutional Master Plan
Summary
The Health Commission approved a 2014 Institutional Master Plan update for San Francisco General Hospital that outlines capital needs including seismic retrofit and facility upgrades and notes potential bond funding in 2015 or 2016; the plan will be submitted to the Planning Department for receipt and subsequent planning-commission review.
The San Francisco Health Commission voted to endorse the 2014 update to the San Francisco General Hospital (SFGH) Institutional Master Plan (IMP), a high'level guide to capital projects and campus planning.
Roland Pickens, director of the San Francisco Health Network, summarized the IMP and its objectives: reaffirm alignment with the 2008 plan, make recommendations for near'term projects and set the context for a more detailed campus master plan. Key priorities listed in the presentation include seismic retrofitting of Building 5, replacement of critical mechanical systems (chillers, cooling towers, supply fans), roof and fire/life'safety upgrades to meet OSHPD requirements, and programming for ambulatory clinic relocations. The IMP also includes a proposed UCSF research building (to be financed by UCSF) and an expansion of the SFGH garage (planned to be financed by an SFMTA revenue bond).
Pickens said design and program planning for the campus master plan are expected to begin in the second quarter of the fiscal year after bond funding is confirmed; staff noted the general obligation bond timing is not finalized but anticipated in 2015 or 2016. Commissioners discussed the long range of capital timelines and the need to periodically review priorities as health-care delivery models evolve.
Staff will submit the endorsed IMP to the City Planning Department; the planning commission will receive the document (receipt only) and the department anticipates further community outreach and user'group engagement as the campus master plan proceeds.
What happens next: With commission endorsement the IMP will be filed with the Planning Department and public processes for the campus master plan and bond planning will proceed.
