Construction to begin spring 2023 for new student housing and Gator Health Center on West Campus Green

Capital Planning, Design and Construction manages programming, planning, architecture, engineering, and construction of new and remodeled buildings and landscapes that support the campus community.

Early in the spring 2023 semester, construction will begin on a new housing project on the West Campus Green. It will include housing for 750 first-year students and a new Gator Health Center that will include Student Health Services, Health Promotion & Wellness and Counseling & Psychological Services. The project will also include a new dining facility. 

The residence hall is scheduled to be completed in time for the fall 2024 semester. The Gator Health Center and dining facility are expected to open later that academic year. The project is made possible by the state of California, which has provided $116.3 million from its Affordable Student Housing grant program to SF State, covering a significant portion of the project’s costs. 

To support construction activities on site, a fence will go up around the West Campus Green in January 2023 and the area will be closed. Since purchasing it from the San Francisco Unified School District in 2012 for use as a future building site, and the related demolition of a vacant school building, the West Campus Green has become a wonderful space for outdoor recreation and enjoyment. While this space will not continue to be available for recreation, other outdoor facilities remain available. The Mashouf Wellness Center offers other spaces for outdoor recreation, as does a new field next to Marcus Hall. Additionally, new outdoor areas, expected to open in the fall of 2024, are part of the redesign of the West Campus Green.
