Aggie Square
Aggie Square, a planned innovation hub on UC Davis’ Sacramento campus will be home to research programs, private industry partners, classrooms, student housing, and public-facing programs that engage local communities and entrepreneurs. The first phase of construction began in 2022 with a 2025 anticipated completion. This phase includes two buildings designed for science, technology, and engineering, a classroom building dedicated to lifelong learning, and a building designated for housing and programs that focus on food and health.
Neighborhood Outreach
We understand the impact that construction projects have on our neighboring communities. The UC Davis Health Government and Community Relations department guides our department’s interactions with the neighborhood. The Community Advisory Board’s Planning Committee focuses on the development of the campus' physical infrastructure and the development of a diverse and talented workforce. We are committed to the UC Davis Health’s Anchor Institution Mission.
