An 11,000 SF hands-on health and life sciences hub for San Francisco public high school students, was designed by WRNS Studio on the top floor of the new Mission Bay School, amidst UCSF and Kaiser campuses. The Hub is built to serve more than 280 SFUSD high school students each year, plus 500 more through summer and after-school programs to support a local, diverse talent pipeline into health and life sciences.
The space runs in two directions. Students go out into Mission Bay for fellowships and field experience, and industry professionals come in to teach, mentor, and collaborate. The Hub design and furniture solutions treat that exchange as part of the curriculum.
Flexible collaboration zones throughout the floor offer opportunities that shift between group projects, individual focus, and partner visits with professional, comfortable furniture settings, and views into the future.
