UC DAVIS: OFFICE OF RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND PLANNING July 19, 2002 DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, and CAMPUS ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS RE: Draft Tiered Initial Study for the UC Davis Watershed Science Research Center UC Davis proposes to construct a new academic and administrative building to provide space for campus growth in the study of watershed science. The proposed project includes the construction and operation of a two-story, approximately 9,800 assignable square feet (asf) (19,000 gross square feet [GSF]) building. The new building would be located in the core campus, south of the Academic Surge Building at the intersection of South La Rue Road and California Avenue. The proposed building would be constructed on the eastern portion of Parking Lot 46. The west side of Parking Lot 46 will remain as a parking lot after construction of the proposed project. Approximately 4,900 asf (9,440 GSF) of the new building will be dedicated to the Watershed Science Research Center to provide laboratory and support space for cross-disciplinary researchers and students who are engaged in research connected to the Bay-Delta and related tributaries. The remaining 4,900 asf (9,440 GSF) will be constructed as unfinished shell space for later development by the campus. A program for the unfinished space has not been determined although the future use would be consistent with the Academic and Administrative High Density land use designation. The proposed Watershed Science Research Center would provide offices for faculty and staff, visiting researchers, and graduate students and academic office support space, storage space (including indoor and outdoor storage areas), and laboratory space. I am writing to inform you that a Draft Tiered Initial Study has been prepared for the proposed construction and operation of the project. You are invited to submit written comments on the Draft Tiered Initial Study to the Office of Resource Management and Planning through August 14, 2002.
