This project complies with PLA. The Chinatown Public Health Center is a vital healthcare hub serving the Chinatown neighborhood, and this project involves the first comprehensive renovation of this essential facility since it was built in 1969. Operated by the San Francisco Department of Public Health, the 30,000-square-foot, three-story facility built over the east entrance to the Broadway Tunnel, offers a wide range of services including dental care, primary care, behavioral health, and child development. This renovation will include full seismic upgrades and major interior demolition to transform the building into a state-of-the-art health facility. Structural improvements—such as new braced frames, modified pile caps, extended grade beams, and reinforced moment connections—will necessitate traffic controls and phased roadway closures. Site upgrades will feature sidewalk improvements, roadway repaving, and utility trenching, including installation of new electrical service. Exterior enhancements include re-roofing, new metal panel finishes, high-performance fenestration replacements, vertical sunshades with maintenance access, and integrated artwork. Interior reconfiguration and comprehensive systems upgrades will improve operational efficiency and overall experience for staff and patients.
