Project description:

To expand drinking water access for the broader campus community, our project will install an ADA accessible water fountain and water bottle fill station at the corner of the Sustainable Living and Learning Communities (SLLC) campus region, near Dome 7 (at the southwestern corner of Blue Ridge Road and Orchard Park Drive) in the Orchard Park Neighborhood. This project expands upon undergraduate Tim Burton's SLLC Green Fellowship project to create a welsome area at the corner, and SLLC accessibility work being funded by Healthy UC Davis. 

This is the first addition to a wider plan developed by undergraduate Time Burton and the SLLC + Domes student communities, to install three ADA accessible water stations to provide clean drinking water 24/7 to students, staff, and university visitors in the SLLC. Member programs of the SLLC include the Feminist Research Institute, the ASUCD Campus Center of the Environment/community gardens, the Student Farm, the Domes and Tri Cooperative housing, and serves several thousand residents housed in UCD's Orchard Park neighborhood.
