The University of California San Francisco has acquired two buildings next to its Mission Bay, Calif., campus to upgrade its dental school.
The university plans to remodel the buildings to include a 60,000-square-foot education center for dental, medicine, nursing pharmacy and physical therapy students, according to a Dec. 17 news release from UCSF.
In addition, the buildings will house dental clinics that feature digital dentistry, integrated primary and specialty care and expanded capacity to serve more patients.
The UCSF School of Dentistry is currently operating in a building that was constructed in 1979.
Between the two buildings, there is more than 525,000 square feet of laboratory, office, clinical and educational space, the release said.
