How to See Floor Plans for a Building

Floor Plan Inventory

The majority of campus buildings have floor plans available on FacilitiesLink. Additional buildings continue to be added regularly. Most new buildings have floor plans in the system before they are occupied.

Planning to print floor plans?

Each building page has icons that link to the most recent plans for each floor in the building. The floor plans are also linked to the room data. You can click on a room and open the room record, which will display information from multiple tables. 

Space Management and Project Development and GIS Services also continually update floor plans to reflect on-going building renovations. If a floor plan does not match the actual building layout, please inform Capital and Space Planning to coordinate the updating of the floor plan.

How to see Floor Plans

Navigate to the Building Page. If the building has several floors, you will see an icon for each floor.

Click on one of the icons. This is will open up the floor plan in the Floor Plan Viewer.

Options in the Floor Plan Viewer

Zoom 

This is located in the middle left side of the page. There are five zoom levels.

Mouse Click

This is located in the lower left corner of the viewer. Used to toggle between Zoom and Select options for mouse clicks.

Display a Theme on the Floor Plan

The “themes” box is located in the upper right corner of the viewer box. The default selection is “Select a Theme.” You can show different categories of space (net usable area, department assignment, room use and many others) one at a time. A printable legend will appear below the viewer. You can also print a themed PDF.

Layers Table

This is located to the right of the floor plan and is not needed for most users at UC Davis. You can hide it by clicking on “Layers” below the viewer.

Get more viewing space

You can open up more viewing space by turning off any of the items that appear below the Floor Plan Viewer. For example, click on “Keymap” to turn off the map in the upper left corner. Click again to turn it back on. You will need to do this again if you change the zoom level.
