At UC Davis, we’ve built a tradition of excellence that reaches far beyond competition. Our student-athletes continue to shine nationally — excelling in the classroom, in competition, and as leaders within our community. Their success reflects the very best of UC Davis: driven, dedicated, and united in purpose.
This is more than an investment in buildings — it’s an investment in people and in the future of UC Davis. It honors our values, fuels our competitiveness, and ensures that generations of Aggies will have the opportunity to achieve at the highest level.
The facilities master plan represents the next step in that journey. These projects will elevate how our teams train, how our fans engage, and how our community experiences the pride that defines being an Aggie. It is both a practical roadmap and an aspirational vision — designed to position UC Davis Athletics for sustained success now and for decades to come.

Chancellor Gary S. May
“Our campus has always been defined by progress. Aggie Ascent captures that forward momentum by combining thoughtful design, sustainable growth and a commitment to student success. It reflects the same excellence that defines UC Davis across academics, research and innovation.”
Football Coach Tim Plough
“Aggie Ascent is a statement about where this program is headed. We talk all the time about controlling what we can control — preparation, attitude, effort — and this plan is the facilities version of that mindset. It’s a commitment to giving our student-athletes every resource they need to be at their best and to providing our fans with a game-day experience that matches the pride they bring to our sporting events.”
