$110.5M in Gifts Fuel UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine Expansion

The University of California, Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine today announced plans to launch a new phase of its veterinary medical complex — made possible by philanthropic gifts totaling $110.5 million to date. The expansion will help address the critical veterinary workforce shortage, expand patient care and support cutting-edge research in cancer, translational medicine and other key areas of biomedical science.

The project includes a new veterinary education pavilion, primary care hospital, equine hospital, veterinary cancer center, spay-neuter clinic and raptor center, all to be completed within 10 years. This next phase builds upon a successful series of facility projects since 2016 that have continued to modernize and expand the capabilities of veterinary medicine. 

Chancellor Gary S. May underscored the importance of the expansion for future generations of veterinarians.

“UC Davis researchers are at the forefront of groundbreaking discoveries improving care for animals and humans,” May said. “As a global leader in veterinary treatment and research, it’s our responsibility to ensure that care and compassion extend as far as possible.”
