Davis Center
A hub of student life and the “living room of UVM,” the Davis Center (DC) has a variety of dining options, also a coffee shop, ice cream bar, fireplace study lounges, game area and other space for meeting up. The DC also is where UVM students buy books and computers, broadcast WRUV (UVM radio), publish The UVM Cynic (our award-winning student paper), hold student organization meetings, host celebrations, and find guidance for greater health and wellness as well as career planning. A LEED Gold certified building, the center has four floors and a pedestrian tunnel entered from the first floor that passes under Main Street for easy access to residences, the athletic complex, and other facilities on the south end of campus.

⭐ Our Common Ground
UVM is a community dedicated to supporting and celebrating the unique identity of every student, faculty and staff member. We share many things in common in our community, too. Most importantly, a commitment to promoting respect, integrity, innovation, openness, respect, responsibility – we call this Our Common Ground.
Celebrating Diverse Voices at UVM
This exhibit space provides features work expressing the struggle of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. It is a place where stories can be shared and accomplishments lauded, showcasing exhibits—created by UVM students, staff, and faculty—updated periodically.
The opening exhibit, "Ten Black Experiences," shares stories and works of members of the UVM community who identify as black. It helps highlight a long, rich, and complex history that involves great accomplishments as well as hardship, prejudice, and bias. Taken together, these stories remind us not only of those who have come before, but also of the ways in which Black lives have mattered and shaped our institution for more than two centuries.

The Center for Health and Wellbeing provides medical care, mental health care, and lead public health programs on campus to help students access tools and resources to support their unique experience of health and wellbeing both inside and outside the classroom. The Center aims to provide respectful, dignified, affirming care that takes into account the enduring legacy of racism and other forms of inequity on health, promoting radical self-care, body liberation, and the value of a community-wide approach to health and wellbeing.
Systems of privilege, power, and oppression can negatively impact students and their mental health and wellbeing. In keeping with our values as the Center for Health and Wellbeing and our commitment to health equity, CAPS prioritizes the needs of members of oppressed groups.
