UC Davis is in the midst of an $800 million capital improvement plan with major projects recently completed, underway, in design or in planning.

Projects at the Davis campus include:

• A $95 million Genome and Biomedical Sciences Building was finished in December by Providence, R.I.-based Gilbane Co., the construction manager at risk for the project. The Sacramento office of Detroit-based SmithGroup was the architect.
  
  
• The $78 million Robert Mondavi Institute for Food and Wine Science Center will be completed in three phases. It includes a hands-on research winery and brewery.

The Sacramento office of Flintco is the general contractor for the first building and Sacramento-based HMH is the GC for the second building.
