UC Davis Health Betty Irene School of Nursing

The Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis is a 70,000-square-foot, design-build education facility that exemplifies innovation in health sciences education. Delivered by McCarthy, the building includes administration and academic offices, active learning classrooms, skills and simulation labs, and a 15-room primary care clinic. Designed to promote interdisciplinary and interprofessional collaboration, it connects seamlessly with other campus education facilities and fosters a welcoming, student-centered environment for healthcare professionals. Sustainable strategies—including daylight harvesting, energy-efficient systems, and rooftop photovoltaics—helped the facility earn LEED Platinum certification, making it a model for high-performance, future-ready academic spaces.
