Texas Tech Davis College Fundraising Priorities
With over 3,500 students and a 3.5% annual enrollment growth since 2014, the Davis College community is thriving, but maintaining this trajectory requires investment in state-of-the-art facilities.
This is why we are embarking on a bold initiative: creating a Hub for Excellence for Davis College. This transformational new facility will be the heart of our living laboratory of agriculture, landscapes, and natural resources, where students and faculty collaborate on solutions to the grand challenges facing our world.
The Texas Tech Equestrian Center serves as the home for our Ranch Horse, Rodeo, Equestrian, and Horse Judging team practices, hosts events, and provides essential stall space. Beyond competition, the center is a beacon of wellness and community engagement, housing the Texas Tech Therapeutic Riding Center.
As the demand for equestrian events, training, and community programs continues to grow, the current facility is in need of significant upgrades to sustain its vital role in our region.
With increased interest in livestock-related competitions, youth devleopment programs, and learning opportunities, the needs of Davis College and the community have outgrown our existing Livestock Arena.
To address these needs, we are excited to announce plans for a new Davis College Livestock Arena, a state-of-the-art, multi-species facility which will position Davis College as the regional hub for livestock activities.
The Texas Tech Research Farm in New Deal, Texas supports research in plant, soil, and animal science. With major infrastructure dating to the 1970's, the New Deal Farm is on the shortlist of sites for renovation to support faculty, researchers, and students across multiple departments with improved facilities.
The newly designated Texas Tech Botanical Gardens represent a bold new chapter in research, teaching, and community engagement for Davis College. More than just a garden, this space is a living, breathing classroom—where innovation meets inspiration.
Originally built in 1970, the research and teaching greenhouses are working toward modernization in order to ensure our students are industry-ready and our community is fully supported.
Davis College has been entrusted with invaluable gifts of farms and ranches which provide unparalleled opportunities for hands-on learning and research.
To fully realize the potential of these land assets, we need critical investments in modern classroom and conference facilities that will enable us to enhance educational impact, expand research, foster public engagement, and strengthen economic opportunities.
Davis College has a proud legacy of excellence in meat science and industry innovation. With 116 National Championships in Meats Judging and the renowned Raider Red Meats products and catering, our program has earned national and international acclaim.
Despite this remarkable impact, demand for our facilities exceeds current capacity. To ensure we continue to meet the needs of our students, the industry, and the public, we must expand and modernize.
At Davis College, students are at the heart of everything we do. By investing in scholarships, endowments, or program support, you can directly impact the lives of Davis College students, shaping the future of agriculture, landscapes, and natural resources.
Together, we can bridge the gap between potential and achievement, ensuring that Davis College continues to lead in innovation, leadership, and opportunity.
