SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) -- The UC Board of Regents gave the green light Thursday for what will be one of the largest building projects in the United States, a hospital at UCSF’s Mission Bay campus.
The first new hospital built in San Francisco since the 1970s will have 289 beds and integrate three specialty hospitals for children, women, and cancer patients.

Donations from philanthropists will cover half the cost of construction.
UCSF must still submit working drawings for buildings to the state by the end of the year before ground can be broken. The first significant construction should begin by 2010.
Planners expect to see the facility completed by 2014.
