===West Campus===
For most of UC Davis' history, West Campus has served primarily as agricultural research land. Recently, portions were developed through a $300 million public-private partnership to form the largest zero net energy community in the United States, known as UC Davis West Village.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://westvillage.ucdavis.edu/press-kit/backgrounder |title=Backgrounder — UC Davis West Village |publisher=Westvillage.ucdavis.edu |access-date=March 28, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111208174851/http://westvillage.ucdavis.edu/press-kit/backgrounder |archive-date=December 8, 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> West Village plans to provide housing for 3,000 students, faculty and staff.

The classes held in this area mainly involve plant sciences, but also include [[entomology]] courses as well. Students in the plant sciences maintain gardens as part of the PLS 5 lab while Entomology 156L and 158 students embark on field trips to sample fish for parasites at Putah Creek and conduct projects in forensic entomology at the UC Davis ecosystem, respectively. West Campus is also home to the University Airport, Foundation Plant Services, the California National Primate Research Center, and the Contained Research Facility, a bio-safety level 3 facility.<ref name=":1" />
