At every turn, Whiting-Turner brought excellence, innovation, and intention; but that’s just the beginning. What matters most is what UC Davis Health can do because of it. This wrap film captures the deeper “so what”: a future made tangible, a mission given momentum, and a space built not just to function, but to empower. The work is done. Now the real work begins.

As the Aggie Square Grand Opening Ceremony approaches, take a look at the finished interiors of the Aggie Square buildings!

UC Davis’ Sacramento and Davis campuses may be separated by a causeway, but recently they were brought together by design. Although final touches are still being added at Aggie Square ahead of its May 2 grand opening, power tools near two of the development’s brand-new, state-of-the-art classrooms took a brief break on March 12, 2025, as the spaces buzzed with both excited students and campus stakeholders, among them Chancellor Gary May.

In this film, George Baxter, UC Davis' Chief Innovation and Economic Development Officer, discusses how his role is to help researchers and others at Aggie Square monetize their work through startups and new business ventures. George's previous role at the University of Edinburgh was similar and saw significant successes within their community.
