BASF

A Facility that Creates Change

CJA was thrilled to serve as Architect of Record for this project and to select all interior finishes throughout the facility. We are pleased that the success of this project represents meaningful opportunities for both BASF and the Davis community, and we are proud of our long-standing relationship with Buzz Oates.

BASF is a global chemical company with a local agricultural division affiliated with Nunhems, for whom CJA has partnered on previous projects. Their work focuses on science-driven innovation, emphasizing taste and sustainability to develop improved vegetable seed varieties. Formerly located in a Bayer facility in West Sacramento, BASF has relocated to a new, purpose-built building within the Mace R&D Business Park.

The BASF Vegetable Seed Lab project includes administrative office and laboratory spaces, as well as a large training room that opens to a communal break room through an automated Skyfold partition. The project also features coordinated interior and exterior corporate signage, along with Mechoshade roller shades installed on both interior and exterior glazing. The result is a flexible, high-performance environment that reflects BASF’s innovative culture—highlighted by refined finishes and the striking Skyfold partition.
