Construction Activity

UC Davis Health understands construction can have an impact on nearby neighbors. To better inform residents about upcoming work outside of regular hours information will be posted to this webpage.

Please note that schedules are subject to change due to weather conditions and resource availability. The construction teams remain committed to maintaining the presented timelines to the best of their ability. 

Notice of Construction Activity: The California Tower Team will begin applying hot tar to the perimeter of the structure on level 4. The work will commence on Monday, July 6, 2026 through Monday, July 20, 2026, weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Roof tar will produce unpleasant odors outside around the structure, similar to burned rubber from car tires. This construction activity will be rescheduled if wind speeds reach or exceed 15 mph. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please contact Government and Community Relations at community.relations@health.ucdavis.edu with any questions.
