The UC Davis field lab (also known as the former “Fish Hatchery”) is a large, old, barn-style building that was built in 1922 and is in major need of repair. It is tucked behind the trees and shrubs on the south-west corner of Lake Forest and SR 28. This building will receive a $3 million renovation beginning in 2007.
