Document Description
The proposed Mission Bay Education Center and Dental Clinics project would renovate the building at 409 Illinois Street (261,000 gross square feet) to provide state-of-the-art dental clinics designed for the future of oral health care, incorporating digital dentistry, integrated primary and specialty care, team-based care models, and expanded capacity to serve Bay Area patients, while the Education Center would support interprofessional learning through shared simulation and clinical skills laboratories that prepare students to deliver coordinated, patient-centered care. Approval of the Advanced Work Phase portion of the project would allow for site preparation and make-ready construction elements that are not dependent on the final design of the building to proceed concurrently with design to renovate the building.
