Document Description
The proposed project would renovate three floors (floors three, four, and 12, totaling approximately 39,400 assignable square feet) in UCSF Health Hyde Hospital Main Building to support expanded behavioral health services, creating a new 50-bed Mental Health Rehabilitation Center and increasing the capacity of the existing acute care Behavioral Unit from 24 to 30 beds. The project includes reconfiguration of patient and support spaces to provide patient rooms, group therapy and activity areas, clinical support spaces, and staff work areas, along with upgrades to mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire life safety, and accessibility systems to meet current behavioral health and hospital standards. UCSF Health Hyde Hospital currently contains a total of 277 licensed inpatient beds. The proposed project would include 56 new behavioral health inpatient beds. With the proposed renovation work and reconfiguration of floor layout and inpatient rooms, the resulting net increase in inpatient beds would be 25.
