UC Davis Resnick Center for Agricultural Innovation

The two-story University of California, Davis (UC Davis) Resnick Center for Agricultural Innovation will provide 32,000 SF of classrooms and flexible laboratory space for agricultural research programs. The facility will serve as an innovative hub for learning and collaboration, with spaces dedicated to agricultural sensor and robotics research and development, food-grade agricultural by-product research and development and resilient agriculture research. It will also include a student success hub, workstations for faculty, staff and students, seminar rooms, and support spaces.

The project is being built using a hybrid structure, with half of the building made of mass timber and half made of structural steel. The building, which is targeting LEED Platinum, uses Douglas Fir mass timber, including cross-laminated timber (CLT) elements and glulam elements. By building this facility to be a collaborative home for the next generation of innovators, and by selecting its building materials, UC Davis continues to be at the forefront of creating a healthier, more sustainable future.
