Editing University of California, Davis (section)

===Campus Core/Quad===
Towards the northeast end of campus is the Quad, a large rectangular field, which was the historic geographic center of campus. The Quad remains the center of campus life, anchored to the north by the Memorial Union (student union), to the south by Shields Library and to the west and southeast by Wellman and Olson halls respectively.

The northeast side of campus holds more of the core buildings that were built earlier in UC Davis's history, such as Wellman Hall, Shields Library, [[Emil M. Mrak|Mrak Hall]], and Hutchison Hall. Also notable in this northeastern corner is the labyrinthine Social Sciences and Humanities building designed by [[Antoine Predock]], known to students as the "[[Death Star]]" for its angular, metallic design.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://theaggie.org/2013/11/21/trying-to-understand-doomed-in-the-death-star/|title=Trying to understand: Doomed in the "Death Star"|date=November 21, 2013|website=The Aggie|language=en-US|access-date=November 28, 2019}}</ref>
