A recent pledge of $1 million by the Herbst Foundation, Inc., will name the student life center at the UCSF Mission Bay campus.

The Herbst Center for Students and Postdoctoral Scholars is slated to occupy a significant portion of the third floor of Mission Bay's Campus Community Center, scheduled for completion in early 2005. Visitors will be directed to the center by signage visible within the Community Center's spacious atrium.

Two suites in the 7,000-square-foot facility will house a diverse array of services for University students:

• The East Suite will feature a view of Koret Quad and contain offices for several administrative services, including financial aid, career advising and student government.
• The West Suite will be home to facilities for medical care, health education and mental health counseling. This suite will also include an X-ray laboratory and a small pharmacy.

The Herbst Foundation's commitment continues a long tradition of gifts to support student and patient facilities at UCSF. Past contributions from the Foundation have named the Herbst Auditorium and the Herbst Cancer Care Floor, both at the UCSF Medical Center at Mount Zion.

"Supporting community-oriented facilities and services that strengthen education and health is central to our mission," notes Herbst Foundation President Melvyn Mark. "We are especially pleased to partner with UCSF in the development of San Francisco's newest neighborhood at Mission Bay."
