DAVIS, Calif., June 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. and Gensler are thrilled to announce their partnership on a significant new project at the University of California, Davis. The design-build team has been awarded the contract for the Segundo Infill Housing project, aimed at providing sustainable, high-quality residence halls for first-year students. The project will be McCarthy’s sixth and Gensler’s seventh with UC Davis, underscoring a proven track record of successful construction.
“When we began discussing this project with UC Davis, we learned that it had to be more than just infill housing. It needed to be a catalyst for the future of housing at the UC Davis campus, bringing a balance of innovation, program space, and sense of cohesion and connection to campus, so we focused on those aspects in our design,” said Jeff Fuller, Project Director at McCarthy. “Working collaboratively with McCarthy, we were able to design a new model for first-year housing that increases density, while knitting together the Segundo neighborhood, and maximizing space for the community building that is so essential to student success,” said Sandy Mendler, Project Director at Gensler.
