UCSF Facility Services has brought back its First Impressions contest to help faculty members, staff, and students identify ways to enliven shared break and eating spaces on campus.

The contest, which began four years ago, provides funds for community members to transform campus eyesores into inviting spaces that enrich the working environment at UCSF. A total of ten projects will each receive up to $15,000 to make their visions of improved common spaces a reality.

Email entries are due by June 30, 2021 and should outline the proposed improvements, using photos or brief videos to showcase the need for a facilities upgrade. All entries should be sent to [email protected].
