Walker Hall

Walker Hall, located in the heart of Davis, CA, is a historic campus building that was originally used as the engineering building. Built in 1927, it is one of the oldest permanent structures on campus and was named after Harry B Walker, a renowned professor of agricultural engineering. Over the years, Walker Hall has housed various departments and even a Design Museum, but now it is undergoing renovations to become a new Graduate Center, providing a common space for graduate and professional students to foster collaboration and scholarly community.

Despite its rich history, Walker Hall has faced challenges such as vandalism, security issues, and insect infestations. However, efforts are being made by the administration and campus police to improve the situation by implementing stricter security measures. The building's location will also undergo changes, with the demolition of the Walker Hall Annex and the creation of the Walker Promenade, a tree-lined walkway connecting the Unitrans Hutchison Bus Terminal to Shields Library. With its upcoming transformation into a Graduate Center, Walker Hall will continue to serve as a hub for academic excellence and innovation at the campus.
