UCSF Parnassus Heights, the original campus and headquarters for UCSF leaders, sits between the Golden Gate Park and Mount Sutro. The Millberry Union Conference Center, located in the heart of the campus, features one of the most stunning views of San Francisco. On a clear day, you can see through the Golden Gate Park and beyond the Golden Gate Bridge.
This conference center comes with comfortable furnishings, audio and video capabilities, and Wi-Fi, making it a venue with flexibility—and an exceptional view. Choose between two rooms - Golden Gate Room or City Lights Room - or combine the two for more space.
Whether you’re hosting a workshop, staff meeting, lecture, reception, a casual or a formal event, our staff is ready to help you present your best.
Summer 2025 we will be upgrading the Audio Visual system in both of these rooms in Millberry Union. We are excited to have new state of the art AV with zoom capabilities.
