We have exciting updates to share as we advance Veterinary Medical Complex expansion! 

PRIMARY CARE HOSPITAL AND VETERINARY EDUCATION PAVILION

The new Primary Care Hospital and Veterinary Education Pavilion is one step closer to becoming a reality. The project completed its planning and design criteria phase and is now moving into the design-build phase, where the architect and construction team will work together to create the new two-story building. Once it opens in fall 2029, the facility will allow UC Davis to increase its class size of veterinary students, helping to address the growing veterinary workforce shortage. 

Learn more about the project on UC Davis’ Design and Construction Management page. 

SMALL ANIMAL HOSPITAL

The Small Animal Hospital, an expansion which will allow the school to care for thousands more animals every year, is also rapidly moving forward. Design criteria are being finalized, and a public bid for design/build teams to submit proposals is anticipated in the coming year.
