The MU, as the Memorial Facility is informally known, was built on the north side of the Quad in 1955 and dedicated to the memory of UC Davis students who died in military conflicts. It is the main gathering point on campus. From dining at the Coffeehouse and bowling or video gaming in the basement Games Area to shopping the UCD Bookstore, there are many reasons to visit the MU. Several ATMs are available on the MU's eastern exterior wall near the main entrance. Shops and services as well as the offices and recording studios of KDVS Radio in Lower Freeborn Hall are accessible via a tunnel which begins beside the bowling alley in the MU basement.

Rocknasium, located at the west end of Olive Drive, is a long standing Davis institution; it is an indoor rock wall gym, and while it is hardly esthetically pleasing from the outside, it contains plenty of fun on the interior for people of all ages and skill levels. The gym has huge lofted ceilings, allowing for a number of climbing walls of all levels. Rocknasium is well known for their lack of pretentiousness, treating beginners and seasoned veterans with the same amount of respect. They offer rentals for shoes, harnesses and chalkbags, as well as classes and memberships of differing durations. In addition, there is a small fitness room, a pro-shop selling all sorts of climbing gear and a front counter where you can buy an assortment of energy enhancing products. Both of the owners are often on hand and take an active role in training, teaching and helping with all aspects of the day to day fun.
