Project: The Arboretum GATEway Project is comprised of three main gateways that will help transform it from being the back end of the UC Davis campus to its “backbone” with the construction of several new buildings on its south end. Each GATEway is named after the specific aspect of the Davis community: The Arboretum Discovery GATEway, University GATEway and City Arts GATEway. The focus is to develop the open area near the City Arts GATEway that will be the primary entrance for people coming from downtown Davis, south Davis and the Arboretum. Currently, the open area consists of wild flowers and grass—a land ready to be renovated with the $2 million plus budget. Our goal is to create an environment that entices the public to visit more frequently, and be welcomed by a nature driven space that tells a story about what is going on in their own community.
