Aggie Square Hits Milestone With Topping Off Ceremony
Local Workers, Suppliers Key to Transformational Project
'The University of California, Davis, the city of Sacramento, and Wexford Science & Technology, LLC, today celebrated the full structural completion of the first phase of Aggie Square, an emerging innovation district on the UC Davis Sacramento campus.
The topping off ceremony — a long-standing building tradition — comprised nearly 200 guests, including local tradespeople; community leaders; architecture, engineering, and construction firms; university partners; and elected officials. Guests were invited to sign graphic renderings of Aggie Square that will hang within the completed buildings and symbolize the community’s significant contribution to Sacramento’s groundbreaking innovation district.
“Aggie Square will build on the Sacramento region’s intellect and ingenuity and help build a brighter tomorrow, with job opportunities and substantial benefits to our economy for generations to come,” said UC Davis Chancellor Gary S. May. “Building a project of this magnitude is good for the economy, the business community, students, faculty, and residents who will be empowered to bring diverse backgrounds and points of view to spur innovation.”'
