UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine Expansion

planned

University of California Davis is undertaking a decade-long expansion of its School of Veterinary Medicine. The first phase is funded by $110.5 million in philanthropic gifts. The expansion aims to address veterinarian shortages, expand patient care, and enhance research programs. The first phase includes construction of a veterinary education pavilion, a primary care hospital, a veterinary cancer center, and a raptor center, with architectural design starting in fall 2025 and completion expected by 2029. The overall master plan spans 10 years and includes six to eight new facilities, such as a new small animal hospital and additional livestock facilities. The total estimated cost is about $750 million, with future phases expected to be funded by philanthropy, state contributions, and other financing.
