Overview

As we return to increased onsite work in UCSF locations, we encourage you to explore the office space and get to know the surrounding neighborhood. This is a brief overview of the amenities and features of our HR workspace at 654 Minnesota.

Building entrance and HR reception

Address: 654 Minnesota Street, San Francisco, CA, 94107.

The main front entrance is located on Minnesota Street. Badge access is required to enter the building. Find instructions on how to get your UCSF ID card.

Workstations

The HR hub is located to the left of the reception desk, past the restrooms hallway. There are five workstations designated to HR: WS #2112, 2113, 2114, 2115, and 2116. HR will also temporarily be using a few FAS workstations. Both old-style and new-style docking stations are available throughout the designated area. 

The open-plan model is an active space where we encourage meetings at the desk and casual conversations, while also being mindful of our neighbors. The expectation is that voices and speaking are normal, and people should plan to use noise-cancelling headsets. Individuals are expected to take their non-confidential Zoom meetings or phone calls at their desks.  

HR Business Services teammates on site can help provide noise-cancelling headsets. 

Wipe down work surfaces before and after daily use. Empty recycling and trash bins before you depart for the day. UCSF Facilities has transitioned to a Centralized Waste Disposal Program. This means desk-side trash and recycling bins need to be emptied into the centralized bins when you are done using the desk. Centralized bins are located throughout the 2nd Floor common areas, including the reception, hallways, and kitchen.

Offices

There are a limited number of private unassigned offices to use when needed. All staff are encouraged to use workstations when in the office to ensure offices are available when managers need to meet one-on-one with members of their team or staff with confidential conversations.

Conference rooms

Conference rooms are located throughout the 2nd floor and there is one on the 3rd floor. Please use Zoom Workspace to reserve one of these rooms, starting Nov. 1.

Transportation and commuting

Printing

If you require IT support to map the network printers, make an appointment with IT Field Services (ITFS) before your first day in the office by calling x4-4100 or chat with ITFS help desk.

Your basic office supplies are available in office supply cabinets located by the hallway and are labeled office supplies. One of our HRBS admin assistants will be available onsite daily and can direct you to the office supplies cabinets.
