The University of California, San Francisco faced an urgent challenge: to expand its neuroscience research facilities quickly enough to match its global reputation and attract the nation’s leading scientists, or risk losing groundbreaking work that could change lives. Traditional funding couldn’t keep pace with the need, so UCSF turned to an innovative public-private partnership model. 

This approach freed UCSF to focus on its core mission of advancing discovery while establishing a new benchmark for research-driven partnerships through a world-class facility. With Edgemoor leading the development, the project advanced a full year faster than planned, delivering the facility well ahead of UCSF’s original schedule.
