About the team:

Contractor Whiting‐Turner has teamed with two recognized design firms, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson from San Francisco and SO – IL from New York.

Bohlin Cywinski Jackson is well‐known as the architect of Apple Stores worldwide, including the much‐ photographed glass cube on Fifth Avenue in . BCJ has also designed Animation Studios, Seattle City Hall, and many noted educational and cultural facilities throughout the country.

SO – IL, winner of the Museum of Modern Art Young Architects Program, has been lauded for their large‐scale intervention in the Frieze Art Fair in New York City and the innovative Kukje Gallery in Seoul, Korea. The firm’s founding architects also designed the Glass Pavilion at the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio and the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York.

Whiting‐Turner, a national construction firm with offices in Folsom and Pleasanton, California, is currently constructing the McMurtry Art and Art History Building at Stanford University and has collaborated with BCJ on many projects, including a large expansion of a new Creative Campus in Southern California for an entertainment company.

Quote about the project:

“We are honored and excited about being asked to contemplate the future Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art at UC Davis. This is an exceptional opportunity to carefully rethink the model of an arts museum on a university campus. We will seek to make the arts an integral part of campus life. Art, architecture and landscape ‐ brought together in an innovative manner, will enrich students' educational experience and heighten awareness of the world we inhabit.”

Bohlin Cywinski Jackson is known for exceptional design, for our commitment to the particularity of place and user, and for an extraordinary aesthetic based on a quiet rigor that is both intellectual and intuitive. The firm’s work is alive to the subtleties of place – the built or natural, to the varied natures of people, to the sensibilities of individuals, to the character of institutions, and to rich possibilities of materials and the means of construction. Our ten principals and a total staff of nearly 200 located in five offices, practice architecture and offer a broad range of related services. The breadth and depth of our skills and experience enable the practice to develop exceptional architecture in response to a range of project circumstances — complex sites, unusual technological requirements, modest budgets and the integration of new construction within existing context.
