The UCR Psychology Building is composed primarily of technical laboratories, classrooms, multi-purpose conference rooms, business and administration offices, and additional support spaces. The three-story building has an approximate area of 80,000 square feet, providing ample support for animal laboratories and greenhouse facilities to assist the University’s environmental studies and global warming research programs. It was requested by the owner that the facility match the existing brick exterior of several other buildings on campus.

The entire building is thermal insulated in compliance with specified sustainability standards, and energy-saving lighting and equipment fixtures were also installed. Water efficiency and conservation measures were incorporated in the selection of all toilet and water fixtures used throughout the building.
