654 Minnesota Rooftop Refurbishment
The Facilities team brought the 654 Minnesota (MN) rooftop to life with comfy patio furniture and an array of bright plants including Cosmos flowers and potted succulents. The project was nominated by Cristina Morrison, Assistant Director of Operations for Real Estate, who expressed her appreciation for how nicely the project turned out. "Considering the lovely weather at Mission Bay, access to the rooftop deck with the new furniture, a fresh paint job, and deep cleaning promotes access to sunshine and fresh air for our colleagues who work at 654 MN. The First Impressions contest provided a lovely space for our staff to enjoy the deck, and we are so grateful," Morrison said.
Break Room Upgrade in Sandler Neurosciences
The NS-580C break room in Sandler Neurosciences at UCSF Mission Bay Campus got a makeover! Facilities installed a new refrigerator and purchased break room furniture, including two sets of movable four-person tables and chairs, a comfy navy-blue sofa bench, sleek seminar table and two bright green ottomans. The new furniture is the perfect combination of aesthetically pleasing and useful, maximizing seating possibilities for a small space. This project was nominated thanks to Laboratory Animal Resource Center Animal Care Supervisor, Jonathan Hero.
Millberry Union Gym Hallway Beautification
Facilities Services teamed up with Documents and Media to add a vibrant new installation at the Millberry Union B1 Level Hallway Connecting East and West at UCSF Parnassus. The new design features inspiring photograph clings and branded signs beckoning gym members to the Millberry Fitness center. The design features serve the dual purpose of brightening up an previously plain hallway while also providing helpful directions to first-time gym goers and guests. This project was nominated by Assistant Director of Fitness & Recreation, Greg Whisman.
Health Sciences West Lecture Hall Hallway Revamp
With new furniture and benches, the space now offers a warm and inviting environment where the UCSF community can gather and connect before and after lectures. This revamp aligns with the contest’s vision of creating comfortable and engaging spaces on campus, and we’re excited to see this area become a vibrant hub for interaction and relaxation! A big thank you to Igor Mitrovic, vice dean and professor of Physiology, for submitting this entry to the Facilities First Impressions Contest.
