Solano Park Demolition

Originally built in 1962, Solano Park provided housing for UC Davis students for more than six decades. In September 2023, its residents transitioned to new accommodations, including Orchard Park. Now vacant, the 35 buildings are set for demolition. Throughout this process, UC Davis remains dedicated to safeguarding the site and its surrounding environment, ensuring that all demolition activities prioritize safety, cultural preservation, and sustainability.
