Arboretum Waterway Improvements

The proposed Arboretum Waterway Improvements project is a water recycling project. The purpose of the project is to improve the water quality in the Arboretum Waterway, which is stagnant, by keeping water flowing through the waterway year-round. The project would consist of re-operating an existing, but currently unused, 18-inch pipeline to circulate tertiary-treated water from the existing campus wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) through the Arboretum Waterway before discharging it to Putah Creek. Tertiary-treated wastewater has undergone filtration that removes additional pathogens and contaminants and meets Department of Health Services’ standards under Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations for unrestricted recycling uses. The campus’s wastewater already is being discharged to Putah Creek, so the project would extend the route that the wastewater takes before discharge. The project would involve installation of two valves, a connecting pipeline, and an outfall structure in order to accomplish the project purpose.

Bookstore Temporary Relocation Project

UC Davis proposes to construct a temporary structure of approximately 18,000 square feet and relocate a campus entry gate to expand the campus area closed to private vehicles.  The temporary structure would be located on approximately two acres south of Hutchison Drive on Parking Lot 43 immediately west of the Silo food service area.  Construction of the temporary building would remove approximately 80 parking spaces from use.  The temporary building would provide space to operate bookstore sales during the planned renovation and expansion of the main campus bookstore. 

A new campus entry gate would be constructed on Hutchison Drive immediately east of Kleiber Hall Drive.  The relocated gate would function similarly to the existing gate and would expand the closed campus area by eliminating private vehicle access to approximately 400 yards of Hutchison Drive between Kleiber Hall Drive and California Avenue.  With gate relocation, the campus would reduce the amount of parking available for general campus access and would convert some parking to restricted uses such as service vehicle use and would remove approximately 20 additional parking spaces from use. In total, the proposed project would remove approximately 100 parking spaces from use.

California National Primate Research Center 2007 Research Laboratory Project

UC Davis proposes to construct five buildings and provide new utility connections to increase the space available for existing and proposed laboratory research and support at the UC Davis California National Primate Research Center (CNPRC). In total, the proposed project would provide approximately 16,000 gsf of new space and would increase the campus population by approximately 20 employees. None of the proposed buildings would provide housing for animals and the proposed project would not increase the number of laboratory research animals at the CNPRC. The proposed use of biohazardous substances in one building would require that the building be constructed and operated as a biosafety level (BSL) 3 facility. Biosafety ratings range from Level 1 to Level 4 and indicate the varying degrees of building containment and laboratory precautions that must be followed while conducting research with particular organisms. The buildings would be located west of County Road 98 and approximately two miles west of the UC Davis main campus within the developed area of the CNPRC north of the existing Primate Center Laboratory building. Utility upgrades to serve the proposed project and future growth at the CNPRC include new telecommunications, natural gas, and domestic water mains.Construction of the proposed project is anticipated to begin in spring or summer 2007.

Castilian Hall Redevelopment

In 2011, UC Davis ended the use of Castilian Hall (at 1440 Wake Forest Drive) for student housing because of seismic safety concerns and the final residents of Castilian Hall moved out of the buildings in June 2011.  At that time, UC Davis did not have a redevelopment plan for the Castilian parcel and briefly contemplated an action to demolish the structures and retain the land for future housing needs.  In July 2011, UC Davis started the review process pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for a project (listed above on this website) titled the “Castilian Hall Demolition Project” (State Clearinghouse No.  2011082014) which began to evaluate the environmental effects of demolishing the existing buildings and retaining the land in a housing reserve status.

In October 2011, UC Davis decided to revisit the issue of redevelopment at the Castilian parcel.  With consideration of a redevelopment action, UC Davis stopped the prior environmental review (i.e. the Castilian Hall Demolition Project) and embarked on a redevelopment planning effort for the site.  With a new plan for demolition and subsequent redevelopment, the University has now prepared a Tiered Initial Study evaluating the environmental effects of demolishing the existing buildings and redeveloping the Castilian site to provide housing for 225 to 275 graduate students in apartment-style housing.  The Tiered Initial Study is expected to lead to preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that will support consideration of demolition and redevelopment at the Castilian parcel. 

On April 25th at 6:30 pm in the Castilian Lounge at 1440 Wake Forest Drive, the University will host a scoping meeting as an opportunity for the public to provide information about environmental issues or concerns that may be relevant to the preparation of the Focused Tiered EIR.

Hyatt Place Hotel Expansion and Old Davis Road Extension

UC Davis proposes two projects on the south portion of the central campus.  The first project would expand the existing campus hotel by adding 52 rooms to the existing 75 rooms which would result in a total hotel capacity of 127 rooms.  The existing Hyatt Place hotel at UC Davis was completed in 2010 and is built and operated by a third-party developer.  The hotel expansion would take place on a landscaped area within the developed parcel of the hotel to the north and east of the existing building.  The existing parking lot for the hotel has sufficient capacity to accommodate the proposed expansion and would not need to be expanded.  The expanded hotel building would result in an additional 30,000 square feet of building area and, like the existing building, would be four stories tall.  The design of the hotel expansion would match the architecture and height of the existing building.

The second project proposed for the south portion of UC Davis is the extension of Old Davis Road from its existing terminus east of the existing hotel to the southern terminus of A Street.  The proposed extension of Old Davis Road has been previously identified as a component of the long-term UC Davis roadway plans and the road was partially extended by 800 feet in 2009 with the conference center and hotel construction projects.  The proposed extension would construct approximately 1,100 feet of new roadway and would connect to the south side of Parking Lot 5 allowing through access on the connected roadway.  Once connected, the road extension would provide an alternate route to the existing Old Davis Road alignment.  UC Davis eventually would convert the existing Old Davis Road along the south side of the UC Davis Arboretum to a bike and pedestrian path with emergency vehicle and service vehicle access. 

The road extension would include two-lanes for motorized traffic (one lane in each direction) and a bike lane adjacent to the road curb.  The project would include a sidewalk on the north side of the road and landscaping along the road.  A 15 foot-wide corridor south of the road would be designated as a future planning corridor for underground utilities.  The extended road would replace the existing road connection located between Mrak Hall Drive and  A Street.

Segundo Services Center

UC Davis proposes to redevelop approximately two acres within the Segundo Housing District for the Segundo Services Center Redevelopment Project (the project). The proposed redevelopment project includes the demolition of the existing dining commons building, removal of a temporary food service building, construction of a new community services building, and landscape enhancements to create a formal quad area on the east side of the new building. The new community services building would be called the Segundo Services Center and would contain approximately 25,000 assignable square feet (asf) (approximately 32,000 gross square feet (gsf)). The project site is within the center of the Segundo Housing District which is a dormitory-style housing area of approximately 10 acres located south of Russell Boulevard and east of La Rue Road on the UC Davis core campus.

The proposed Segundo Services Center will provide the services needed within the Segundo Housing District in a modern two-story building that will more efficiently utilize the available land area. The use of a more efficient two-story replacement building will allow installation of a centralized formal quad area to serve as a new outdoor living space for the area residents. The project site includes a portion of existing Parking Lot 24, and will result in the loss of approximately 50 parking spaces from Parking Lot 24.

South Valley Animal Health Laboratory, UC Davis

UC Davis proposes to construct the South Valley Animal Health Laboratory (SVAHL), a new laboratory and office building of approximately 53,000 gross square feet. The building would provide space for a new veterinary diagnostic testing laboratory adjacent to the existing veterinary medicine research laboratory approximately ¼ mile east of Highway 99 in Tulare County south of Tulare. In addition to laboratory and office space, the project would include a cremator for animal parts and other waste, a back-up generator, an on-site water supply well and storage tank, a stormwater retention pond, relocation of existing residential modular buildings, and a new septic system for the disposal of wastewater.

The California Animal Health & Food Safety (CAHFS) Laboratory System is the backbone of California’s warning system that helps to protect the health of California’s livestock and poultry. CAHFS serves the people of California by safeguarding public health with rapid and reliable diagnosis of animal diseases common to animals and humans, as well as foodborne pathogens. CAHFS operates in partnership with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), UC Davis, veterinarians, livestock and poultry producers.

The proposed facility will create new preparation laboratories, diagnostic laboratories, large and small animal necropsy laboratories, and all necessary laboratory support, storage and administrative support functions. The proposed facility would accept avian and livestock sample submissions for complex diagnostic procedures to support on-going food production, food safety, and animal welfare programs overseen by the CDFA. Sample testing would involve primarily blood and tissue samples sent from throughout the region for testing and would also involve receipt of dead or dying animals delivered to the SVAHL for testing. The SVAHL would provide routine testing for on-going screening programs and would also provide testing and diagnostic services for animals with suspect disease symptoms.

Vector-Borne Disease Laboratory

UC Davis has applied for funds from the National Institutes of Health to construct he proposed Vector-borne Disease Laboratory (VBDL) at the California National Primate Research Center (CNPRC). The proposed approximately 7,200 gross square-foot building would include high quality research laboratories, research support space, and office space to jointly house staff from the CNPRC's Virology and Immunology Unit and research faculty of the Center for Vector-borne Diseases (CVEC). The Virology and Immunology Unit includes faculty, staff, and graduate students from a variety of disciplines whose research focuses on using non-human primate models of human infectious and immunologic diseases such as AIDS to better understand diseases, diagnostic tools, and treatments. The CVEC faculty's research is focused on aspects of host, pathogen and vector biology including the use of non-human primate models to study vector-borne disease. The proposed VBDL would be located at the CNPRC on a vacant site immediately north of the CNPRC's Administration Building. In addition to the laboratory and office building, an approximately 5,500 gross square foot vivarium and insectary would be constructed adjacent to the VBDL to provide secure containment of research insects and animals. Significant human illness and death as well as animal suffering occur worldwide due to vector-borne disease. In California, these diseases cause great economic loss to animal producers and recreation-based industries. The rapid spread of West Nile virus in the United States has highlighted the emerging nature of vector-borne diseases and indicates a critical need for expanding the national research capacity in this area of study. The CNPRC is located on campus approximately two miles west of the academic core and west of the intersection of Hutchison Drive and County Road 98.
