We hope you will visit the campus, the hub of intellectual, artistic and cultural activities for Inland Southern California. You'll notice that the campus is well into a decade-long $807 million capital construction plan. The campus is growing and changing daily. There is so much to see.
The UCR Alumni and Visitors Center
Dedicated in 2007, the UCR Alumni and Visitors Center serves as a front door to the university. This distinctive 13,865 square foot building, designed by local architects HMC, houses a large lobby, meeting rooms, a library of works by UCR authors, a formal board room and a dining facility that doubles as banquet space for 200.

Our learning opportunities range from academic enrichment programs for children to professional certificates to self-directed learning groups for individuals of retirement age.

Partners in Education
A multi-faceted partnership between UCR and K-12 school districts involves all three cornerstones of the UC system, research, teaching and service. One such partnership between the Riverside Unified School District and UCR makes science come alive for students. As they apply classroom learning to interesting research projects, participants in the annual district Science & Engineering Fair at the university become jazzed about pursuing careers as scientists, researchers, engineers and mathematicians.
