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.

Nine classrooms in the Wellman Hall basement will be renovated as part of the ongoing General Assignment Classroom renovation program. Renovations include re-sizing classrooms, upgrading technology and Wi-Fi, and adding new furniture.

The project consists of structural upgrades to the essential services of the Fire and Police buildings.

Constructed in 2008, the Advanced Materials Research Laboratory now serves as the home of the UC Davis Coffee Center, the world’s first academic research and teaching facility entirely dedicated to the study of coffee.

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.

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.

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.

How does the universe work? Interior renovations of the Physical Sciences Library’s second and third floors will facilitate the answer to this, and other questions, by creating innovative collaboration spaces.
