Website to provide information on new ANR building and upcoming move

Vice President Allen-Diaz announced in March that the University of California Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources will be consolidating over 150 employees into one location in East Davis. ANR reached an agreement with John Buckel and Rod Johnson of Capital Partners Development Company and Sam, Gwen and Jeff Harrison of the Davis Indoor Sports Center, LLC, for the purchase and renovation of the building located at 2801 Second Street in Davis. MFDB Architects is the project architect, Harrison Construction Company is the general contractor, and Jim Gray and Nahz Anvary of Cassidy Turley are the brokers. The groundbreaking was held April 2. 

Tyler Babcock of MFDB Architects, Sen. Lois Wolk, with John Buckel of Capital Partners Development Company, Davis Mayor Joe Krovoza, UC Vice President for Agriculture And Natural Resources Barbara Allen-Diaz, and Sam Harrison of the Davis Indoor Sports Center at the UC Agriculture and Natural Resources facility groundbreaking.

Construction began April 3 and we expect to be moving in by year’s end. Today we are launching a website to provide information on the new building and the upcoming move. The website will be updated frequently – particularly with photos of the construction that is already well underway – so visit often.

Most importantly, there is a button for you to “ASK” questions about the project. I will use your questions and feedback to add topics to the “Frequently Asked Questions” section of the website.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Jan Corlett
Chief of staff to the vice president
