The University of California Regents last week approved the design for the new UC Davis Genome and Biomedical Sciences Facility.
To be completed in 2004, the six-story, $95 million building will be located just north of Tupper Hall in the Health Sciences Complex on the campus's west side. It will feature state-of-the-art research laboratories, and house the new UC Davis Genome Center and other research and administrative units.
The building is the first major building to be added to the health-sciences district in many years and sets the tone for a number of nearby facilities to go up in the next decade, said campus architect Robert Strand.
On Friday, UC Davis hosted a group of French scientists visiting the United States to study the development of multidisciplinary centers in genomics. The group earlier visited Harvard and Stanford universities, the University of Washington and UC Berkeley.
