Neuroscience Conference Center (NSCC)


The new Neuroscience Conference Center (NSCC), located on the first floor of the Sandler Neurosciences Center (SNC) building at Mission Bay, is now open and approved for use. The NSCC has a 19-foot-wide by 11-foot-high curved LED screen and a capacity of 153 people. In addition, there are state-of-the-art assisted listening devices for audience members who are hard of hearing, as well as wheelchair accessibility to the elevated stage for presenters and premier viewing locations around the tiered seating arena for audience members with wheelchairs or other mobility devices. Scheduling and usage of the Conference Center is managed by the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases (IND).

PLEASE NOTE: The Memory and Aging Clinic is housed on the first floor of the Sandler building. As such, the entire first floor is considered UCSF Health space. Masks remain mandatory in all UCSF Health spaces and must be worn at all times in the NSCC.
