Serving as the landscape architect for the project, WRT worked with WRNS Studio, McCarthy Builders, and Thornton Thomasetti to design the LEED Gold academic building at UC Davis Health.The 70,000-square-foot facility and surrounding landscape architecture embodies UC Davis’ mission to reinterpret education by providing a collaborative community to prepare future health professionals.

The landscape design features low-no irrigation and is part of a central campus landscape showcase area featuring native, drought-tolerant and arid landscape plants from the deserts in the Southwest. The site also includes an extensive network of stormwater bio-retention areas and numerous outdoor gathering areas to encourage indoor/outdoor learning and social functions. A wellness garden, acupuncture walk, and rehabilitation garden are also included to promote mental and physical well-being on campus.
