UC Davis Campus Housing Post Occupancy Evaluation Survey

You are being invited to join a research study by the Energy Efficiency Insitute (EEI) for residents of UC Davis campus residence (Segundu, Tercero, Cuarto, The Green, Orchard Park) and the Domes. The study will attempt to understand the underlying causes of the difference in perceived quality of life and other social, physical and mental health aspects associated with it. Additionally, this study will try to identify the reasons for preferring one kind of housing option vs the other. The results of this study may guide future sustainable housing on campus.

What's Open During the Strike

We always strive to make where you eat and where you live the most enjoyable part of your day, but right now, some of our dining locations and residence halls will be affected by the union strike that is taking place from Wednesday, November 20 to Thursday, November 21. We hope all dining locations will resume their normal operations as soon as possible, but in the meantime, please learn more about your current dining options.
