UC Davis has two main campuses. The general research and undergraduate
campus in Davis serves more than 40,000 students on 5,000 acres.
The Sacramento campus on 144 acres serves as the center for regional health care needs.
By 2030, our Sacramento campus will grow from 3.6 million square feet today to over 7 million square
feet, nearly doubling the campus size in less than eight years. To support this growth over
six billion dollars in capital resources has been committed and another two billion dollars are planned.
In the spring of 2023, we will open a new 52-bed rehab hospital as a joint
venture with Kindred. Upon opening, our existing 18
rehab beds will relocate from the main hospital to this new facility.
Our innovation district, Aggie Square, is a public-private partnership between UC
Davis and the Wexford Science and Technology Corporation
Phase one construction is currently underway, including 600,000 square feet
of new research facilities by 2025. Programs will include computational research, wet bench
research, an animal research vivarium and a 1,600 stall parking structure.
Opened in fall 2022, the Tschannen Eye Institute is an addition to the existing Ambulatory Care Center,
which allows for relocation of our existing eye and ophthalmology programs out of the ACC.
The 48x Complex began construction in 2022 and is estimated for completion in mid-2025.
The completed building will include 14 ambulatory operating rooms, three IR rooms, two minor procedure
rooms, 60 PACU bays, 100,000 square feet of surgical specialty clinics
and ancillary services, including lab, radiology and a retail pharmacy. To address our campus growth and
impacted surface parking lots, we are constructing new parking structures for patients and staff.
Parking Structure 4 opened in 2022, with 1120 parking stalls for staff.
Parking Structure 5 will open in 2023, with 957 stalls for construction contractors in the short
term, transitioning to staff and patient parking long term. In addition to structured parking, a
number of surface lots are being designed to address short-term parking challenges.
The California Tower, a new 14-story 900,000 square foot replacement tower, includes 353
acuity adaptable med/surg beds. It will also feature 12 large hybrid O.R.s, contiguous to the
24 existing O.R.s in the pavilion. Construction has begun with expected completion in 2030.
Upon completion of the California Tower in 2030, the North-South Tower and East
Wing will be decommissioned and razed, allowing UC Davis Health to re-envision
the west side of our campus as part of our 20-year campus master plan.
