The pinnacle of engineering innovation.

Designed as a hub of cross-disciplinary research and collaboration for UCLA, Southern California and the world, Engineering VI is the new crown jewel of the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering. Home to cutting-edge research into some of the world’s most pressing needs—from clean water and renewable energy, to nanotechnology, new material innovations and more—the final phase of this innovative research and educational facility opened in March of 2018.

Building opportunities for the future.

Engineering VI represents the future of UCLA, yet it’s being built with little support from the State of California. As a result, a great deal of financial support—more than $45 million, so far—has come from generous donors, alumni, industry partners and friends of the school. But we still need your help. So if you want to become an integral part of the future of UCLA Samueli, please visit our Engineering VI website after March 15, 2018.

The Alumni Legacy Campaign

Donors who give $1,000 to the Alumni Legacy Campaign will have their names placed on a special donor display in the south wing of the building, which will show generations of students, faculty and friends of the school the generosity and lasting influence of those who have come before them. Donors may make their gifts over a three-year period, and may be able to seek a matching gift from their employers.
