Old Firehouse

The Old Firehouse (referred to as TB195 on the UC Davis map and often called "The Firehouse") is east of the Music Building and just south of the East Gate. Located there are a couple music and drama department offices, including TA and grad student offices, and restrooms. There is also a larger space for classes and rehearsals. The Old Bandroom for the Band-uh! used to be in there (pictured below is the Old Bandroom door). The door features the Oldschool Aggie Logo.

Plenty of classes have been held in the building, and continue to be hosted as of the Spring 2008. The classroom space is typically used by dance and drama students.

As of 2007 or thereabouts, KDVS has been using the building for some live music shows as a complement to Delta of Venus. Musical acts have included Alas, Alak, Alaska; BDRM PPL; Married in Berdichev; Whitman; Katie Delwiche; Matt Gottschalk; Clarence Van Hook; The Barking Spiders; Evangelista; Foot Foot; Tera Melos and quite a few others.

The building has been home to wildlife including Barn swallows.

More on the location of the Firehouse:

Firehouse is right next to/just east of the Music Building, about three buildings east of Shields Library (Shields has the only address for all of campus: One Shields Avenue Davis, CA 95616), and at the southeast corner of campus.

If you're taking 80, take the Richards exit, go towards In-n-Out and continue towards downtown. Take a left at 1st St. (right after the train tunnel/underpass), then a left at A St., and a right at Hutchison. Firehouse is straight ahead, just after the gate/barrier thing (which you can't pass but can stop at to unload).
