Thinking Boldly About the Future
With the revitalization of our historic Parnassus Heights campus underway, UCSF Dentistry is thinking big about the future.
We have developed a bold vision for our future home following an intensive study conducted by design and architecture firm Valerio DeWalt Train. Their report, “The New American Dental School”, outlines the conceptual framework for building a new kind of dental school at UCSF – one that will shape the future of health and science through innovation, interprofessional education, integrated health, and community connection.
This vision will serve as our guide throughout the capital planning, architectural design and construction processes that will be completed over the next 8-10 years.

For 143 years, the School of Dentistry has played a vital role in carrying out UCSF’s mission of advancing health for all. In the coming decade, we will build the spaces that its learners, scientists, clinicians and staff need to carry that work forward for generations to come.

We asked learners, faculty, and staff across the school what they would like to see in our future facilities. Hear what they had to say:
Planning for the future, investing in the present
While we are planning ahead for Phase II of the Comprehensive Parnassus Heights Plan, we continue to modernize our current facilities. In Summer 2024, the Dental Clinics Building at 707 Parnassus will see its lobby redesigned and wayfinding enhanced throughout the building.
