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.
The renovation of 14,000 square feet of the College of Biological Sciences’ lab space on the northwest side of the first floor of Briggs Hall will increase the utilization of laboratory space, providing a more open lab configuration.
Briggs Hall, home to dozens of research groups and labs, opened in 1971 – almost 50 years ago – to accommodate major increases in students and faculty studying and researching the biological sciences. Today the roof and electrical systems need major renovations to protect critical research and academic equipment.
To provide increased protection and accessibility for students, employees and the public, these buildings are being renovated to improve their seismic and fire safety in conjunction with the construction of multiple ADA improvements.
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.
Thanks to the generosity of multiple donors, this state-of-the-art project for Intercollegiate Athletics supports the health and well-being of our students and regional community, the upward trajectory of our university’s world-class athletics programs and an expanded partnership with the UC Davis Health campus in Sacramento.
UC Davis' Class of 1968 is partnering with Campus Planning and Environmental Stewardship to create an iconic structure at the entrance of Howard Way and Russell Boulevard to enhance this entrance's welcoming environment and commemorate the campus's historic gateways.
To accommodate increased traffic as West Village continues to expand, the Hutchison Drive overpass over Highway 113 will undergo significant improvements, including the addition of a two-way bike path on the north side of Hutchison and signaled intersections for Highway 113 on-ramps and off-ramps.
To facilitate the Orchard Park Housing Redevelopment, a part of the most ambitious housing expansion the university has undertaken, UC Davis is upsizing and improving infrastructure in and around Orchard Park district.
