The advance of the University at Buffalo has always been
propelled by a striving for something seemingly beyond
its reach.
From its origins as a frontier medical school, to its emergence
of a strong regional private university in the early 20th century,
to its transformation as a distinguished public research
university, UB has always moved forward by aiming high. With
implementation of Building UB, the university will take the next
giant step in its journey to joining the ranks of the
nation’s greatest public research universities.
