Bookstore Renovation and Expansion Project

Close

UC Davis proposes to remodel and expand the existing UC Davis bookstore. The bookstore renovation and expansion project site is in the core campus at UC Davis and is southwest of the intersection of North Quad and East Quad Avenues. The project site for construction activity is approximately two acres, of which, the existing bookstore occupies approximately 42,000 square feet at ground level. The proposed expansion would include new space in the basement, on the first floor, and a new second floor to provide approximately 41,000 square feet of new space. The Memorial Union area includes a pedestrian plaza area surrounded by Freeborn Hall, North Quad Street, the existing bookstore, and the Memorial Union Building. The proposed expansion of the bookstore would take place within the existing pedestrian plaza and would also add a second-story to the existing bookstore and enlarge the existing basement area. The expanded bookstore would provide needed space for student course books and materials, additional display space during periods of high demand, display space for general merchandise, and an area for a small café within the expanded bookstore.
