The Walter A. Buehler Alumni and Visitors Center was opened on April 10, 1992. Located at the south end of campus, the Alumni & Visitors Center is generally regarded as part of the front door to campus, along with the Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts, the Robert Mondavi Institute, and the new Hotel and Conference Center.

The Alumni and Visitors Center is a multi-purpose facility. It encompasses over 21,000 square feet; 5,500 square feet of which is available for rental. In addition to being the home of the Cal Aggie Alumni Association, the building houses three other campus departments: Visitors Services, Career Recruiting, and International Ag Visitors. As part of the front door to campus, all tours begin at the Alumni and Visitors Center.
