UC Davis: Expanding a National and Community Identity
Presenter(s): Stanley G. Boles, BOORA Architects Inc; Robert B. Segar, University of California - Davis
Convener: Cheryl A. Bailey, State University of New York at Buffalo

In the mid-1990s, the University of California - Davis embarked upon a unique planning process that sought to enhance the role of the arts on the campus, and the role of the campus in the region. The goal was to create a visible and accessible arts precinct and a new campus 'front door' to the region. This presentation will focus on the process to realize this goal; an analysis of the project including feasibility studies, programming, design and construction of a 2000-seat performance hall; and a master plan that includes hotel, conference, visual art, and visitor facilities.
