After seven years of planning and working on the concept, Aggie Square is now ready for business! At the Graduate School of Management, we are excited about the future Aggie Square will bring with it.
Aggie Square is what UC Davis is all about—a dedicated group of people who work collaboratively. And by bringing those people together into a common space, it will unleash the power of collaboration. And it is through this collaboration that we live our values of sustainability, innovation, and community building.
Aggie Square is itself an innovative private-public partnership. It is designed to achieve ground-breaking innovations through UC Davis researchers; to provide students an opportunity to learn experientially; to help the community by creating jobs in the region; and to further cement the reputation of UC Davis as one of the premier universities in this world. Go Aggies!
UC Davis is at Aggie Square where innovation knows no bounds.
