UCSF's board of supervisors approved the lease agreement put forth by UCSF to construct a $200 million research building at San Francisco General Hospital, according to KTUV/FOX2 News.
The 175,000-square-foot facility will sit atop a parking structure outside the hospital's former emergency room.
The university agreed to fund the cost of the facility in its entirety.
UCSF's board of supervisors met last week to discuss the issue.
