The University of California, Davis opened a $58.5 million research facility for the School of Veterinary Medicine in March of 2013. Featuring collaborative open laboratories, the four-story, 76,000-asf Research Facility 3B will support 40 teams investigating animal, human, and environmental health issues including zoonotic diseases, autism, nutrition, reproduction, respiratory disease, neurobiology, food safety, toxicology, and aquatic toxicology. The building provides offices, conference rooms, and administrative space, as well as housing the 100K Genome Project which aims to sequence the genomes of 100,000 infectious microorganisms and speed diagnosis of foodborne illnesses. The facility was designed by HOK of San Francisco with Research Facilities Design (RFD) as laboratory design consultant. LEED Gold sustainable design certification will be sought for the project, which features automatic sunshades and an advanced filtered-water heating and cooling system.
