Aggie history is in the making with the restoration of the "Touchdown Tower" water tower!

Once scaffolding is in place, the tower will be fully "under wraps," similar to the cocoon-like wrapping that enclosed the domestic (Arboretum) water tower during its own restoration in 2000. bit.ly/45SMCX

Aggie Experts is now open to the public!

Scholars, journalists, industry, community groups, and students can use Aggie Experts to explore UC Davis research and connect with UC Davis faculty, researchers and expert sources in one streamlined location.
