UCSF Mount Zion

Design That Promotes Healing

Built from the ground up to house two related yet separate entities, the Osher Building is home to both the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine and the UCSF General Internal Medicine department.

The five-story building features a distinct brick base that is in harmony with the masonry buildings in the neighborhood and a wood cladding system that is evocative of the new approaches in medicine taking place inside. It was recognized with a Design Build Excellence Award in Healthcare Facilities by the Design Build Institute of America.
