Capital Project Report
Summer 2019

PROJECTS
The Capital Project Report is a summary update of projects under the ongoing supervision of Design and
Construction Management. The Report represents both Minor and Major Capital projects, including those
over the $70M threshold requiring University of California Regents approval. The effort to complete the scope
of Capital Projects is the passion of many collaborators on campus, and within the Finance, Operations and
Administration organization, including Design and Construction Management, Facilities Management, Campus
Planning and Environmental Stewardship, Safety Services, the Police and Fire Departments, Communication
Resources, Real Estate Services and the many other dedicated units across campus, striving to make the
university better every day.
About DCM
Design and Construction Management (DCM) delivers new, high-quality buildings at the forefront of green
building design, transforms existing facilities using state-of-the-art systems and manages improvements to the
infrastructure of the largest campus in the UC system. In addition to advising the Chancellor and Provost with the
planning, oversight and allocation of funding for capital improvement projects, DCM also works with deans and
vice chancellors to assign building space for education and administrative purposes.

Center (ARC) Expansion
Since the ARC opened in 2004, our student population has increased by 6,000. To meet these
growing needs, the ARC is expanding by 16,300 SF into the existing central courtyard area. The
expansion provides more space for strength and cardio equipment, adds an outdoor exercise
area, enlarges the cycling studio, upgrades the locker rooms, includes the addition of day
lockers throughout the facility, enhances the Wi-Fi and improves the building’s energy efficiency.
This addition will result in shorter wait times, allowing ARC members to complete their workouts
and return to class, studying or work.
This project is funded from a student initiative passed in 1999 to build the ARC which was
designed to allow for the building to be operated, maintained and renovated as it aged and will
not result in any student fee increases.

UC Davis is already home to the largest public installation of a controlled environment facility
in the nation. In fall 2019 we will further secure our research excellence in this area when
this expansion is complete and an additional 38 growth chambers come online, bringing our
campus’s controlled environment growth chamber total to 188. The chambers in this facility
can grow plants under controlled conditions ranging from chilly, dry, and subfreezing to humid
and hot environments. The expansion of this facility adds an additional 5,500 SF to the already
existing 6,900 SF existing building and includes enough room for office, support and research
spaces to accommodate current and future faculty needs.

Briggs Hall Roof and

Briggs Hall, home to dozens of research groups and labs, opened in 1971 – almost 50 years

biological sciences. Today the roof and electrical systems need major renovations to protect
critical research and academic equipment.
This project removes all the electrical equipment currently on the roof, relocates updated systems
to a fenced yard near the building’s loading dock, replaces the roofing systems and provides a
new emergency generator system to power the entire building during an outage.

Six of these new greenhouses will be completed in late 2019 with several more being built in
the coming years.
In addition to the greenhouses CA&ES is constructing, Mars, Incorporated is building two
greenhouses within the complex to house a large collection of cacao plants. Together with
UC Davis faculty, plant breeders from Mars, Incorporated will work to improve and perfect
these tropical trees endangered by deforestation.
