Building J-1 Renovation and Upgrade

Building J-1 Renovation and Upgrade

The proposed UC Davis Building J-1 Renovation and Upgrade would renovate and expand an existing building to provide increased laboratory and office space. The existing Building J-1 consists of approximately 23,000 square feet that was designed, constructed, and operated for infectious organism containment research. However, the north wing is currently being used as storage space due to deficiencies in meeting current standards for containment of infectious organisms. The proposed project would renovate approximately 1,550 square feet within the north wing of Building J-1 t provide improved animal holding, laboratory containment rooms, and upgraded air handling capabilities. The project would expand the building approximately 400 square feet by constructing an exterior corridor along the north and east sides of the north wing of Building J-1. The new exterior corridors along the north and east side of the north wing of Building J-1. The new exterior corridors would facilitate the renovation project for research with infectious organisms requiring Biosafety Level 3 (BSL 3) containment. Biosafety ratings range from Level 1 to Level 4 and indicate the varying degrees of building containment and laboratory precautions that must be followed while conducting research with particular organisms.
