The Parnassus Heights health facilities need to be replaced and/or renovated for UCSF to meet legislated seismic deadlines of 2030 of which we are required to comply.

Coordinate all project activities with the operations of the Medical Center and Campus stakeholders.

PM Defines working criteria for a proposed project, determining the hazardous materials, infection control, phasing of work, and fire and life safety requirements that are necessary.  Estimate the design review efforts for a project to assure that the quality of the construction documents is sufficient to minimize the risk of cost overruns during construction.
