Dudley H. Davis Center

The Dudley H. Davis Center is a building at the University of Vermont in Burlington that spans four floors with diverse functional areas. The facility houses ballrooms, meeting rooms, learning spaces, and numerous services for students and faculty in one location.

The building opened in 2007 and replaced the former main student gathering space on campus. This new facility marked a significant shift in the university's infrastructure and student experience.

The center serves as the primary gathering space for University of Vermont students and features international dining options alongside spaces for exhibitions and cultural events. Visitors experience daily interactions between different academic groups and an open learning culture.

The location is easy to find and accessible from multiple entrances, making it simple for first-time visitors to navigate. It makes sense to visit earlier in the day when there is more space to move around and explore the different areas.

The building was the first student facility in the United States to receive LEED Gold certification for environmental standards. This recognition reflects the university's commitment to sustainable design and long-term resource efficiency.
