UC Davis Health Administrative Services Building
Rancho Cordova, CA, United States
A collocation of several administrative departments, the new 194,000-square-foot UC Davis Health Administration Services (HAS) Building brings these services under one roof, in a light-filled, modern workspace that reflects their commitment to sustainability and supports the health and wellbeing of their staff.
The two-story, Class ‘A’ space was originally constructed in the 1980s and needed creative solutions to address the lack of natural light and limited flexibility between areas.
To improve collaboration and efficiency for UC Davis Health’s functional support teams the design provides a central location that enables these operational groups to better serve the University’s patient network. This was accomplished by using the Central Business District (CBD) as the planning principal. The design nests around the “CBD” and breaks free into conceptual valleys, meadows, and sweet escapes through wide and narrow trails and quiet pathways where any user may find both collaborative or more intimate settings for their preferred workstyle.
The Stantec design introduced multi-level lightwells with skylights to create new double-height spaces through the center of the building, bringing sunlight all the way down to the first floor. Adjacent to the lightwells, stacked cubes for key meeting spaces give the illusion of additional height while existing structural steel frames create sculptural drama and an open elemental feel.
An indoor plaza serves as the central circulation point of the building, connecting people on both levels of the building. Coffee bars and collaborative lounges sprinkled throughout both levels support the natural tendency to gather around daylit areas. A two-level café connects the existing outdoor patio, extending the café and seating area, allowing staff to enjoy fresh air during the day.
