There are no steam tunnels on campus.
Like most college campuses, UC Davis has various underground passages connecting buildings, providing utility access, and for other reasons.
- Between Sproul Hall and Olson Hall (see no toad sexing in Davis)
- Between Roessler Hall and Physics and Geology
- Between Wellman Hall and Kerr Hall
- Between Lower Freeborn and the MU
- From the bottom part of the MUGA to the bookstore loading dock is a tunnel
- Isn't that just a corridor?
- All the parts of the Chemistry building are connected underground
(Please add any more tunnels you may know about!)
Steam Tunnels
Steam is an awesome way to keep buildings heated over a large area, requiring pipes to carry such steam. Usually, there would be tunnels to allow access to these pipes for maintaining them. However, in the case of Davis, there are small access points to the system (visible by the steam rising from them in the morning), but there are no actual tunnels. This was highly disappointing.
