Aggie Square will be an innovation district unlike anything the university has ever taken on before – a place where university, industry, and community meet to create opportunities for everyone.

In order to comply with the Campus Security Standards Implementation Project, UC Davis is replacing multiple types of key-card control systems with AggieAccess, the new standard for electronic building access.

The Campus Security Management System (CSMS) provides unified security management using three major electronic security sub-systems: access control, building intrusion alarms, and video security.

As a result of the successful first phase of this project – completed in 2018 – the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden team secured a $5.4M grant to support the complete metamorphosis of this campus icon.

Bainer Hall is home to diverse engineering programs that research, create and innovate, including bionanotechnology — the science and engineering of micro- and nanosystems applied to biological fields, like health. Three lab spaces on the third floor of Bainer Hall — rooms 3069A, 3125 & 3123 — are being renovated to accommodate new equipment...

To decrease our campus’s reliance on natural gas and move our university closer to becoming carbon neutral by 2025, UC Davis is converting our building heating system from one that utilizes steam heat generated by natural gas, to a heating system that uses hot water generated by electricity – a renewable resource.

A comprehensive program has been established to provide for demolition of beyond repair buildings throughout campus. Over 100 buildings have been identified for demolition. Many of these structures are older, small buildings in south and west campus or temporary buildings that have long outlived their temporary status.

With over 2,500 pieces of contemporary art by Native American and Indigenous artists, the C.N. Gorman Museum will be relocating to this larger, more flexible and innovative space complete with over 4,500 square feet of public gallery space.

This project consists of structural upgrades to the essential services buildings of the Central Heating and Cooling Plant (CHCP).

The addition will include new research laboratories, a multi-disciplinary team laboratory, upper-division teaching laboratories, research laboratory support, office space for faculty and graduate student researchers and shared collaboration spaces.

A new central plant for the California Natural Primate Research Center will be constructed to replace the existing heating and cooling system with a more energy-efficient hot water system. In order to run the new plant with a lower carbon footprint, while also reducing operating costs, a solar/thermal collector panel field will be installed.
