Campus Bench Dedications
The information below applies to benches outside of the UC Davis Arboretum. To learn about dedicating a bench within the Arboretum, visit our Arboretum Bench Dedications page.
Bench dedications offer a unique and lasting way to honor a loved one, commemorate a special occasion, or celebrate campus connections. We are pleased to offer bench dedications across the main UC Davis campus.
Many benches are located in popular, scenic areas of campus and are available for immediate selection and dedication. Sometimes, we are able to identify alternative sites where a new bench could be located. Please note: new sites for benches (where a bench does not currently exist) must be approved by the campus Landscape Architect, may require additional costs, and are limited in availability.
Campus benches are durable, white or buff powder-coated metal. Each bench dedication includes a 4” x 6” metal plaque with your custom inscription. A no-charge consultation is included with each bench dedication. We can accommodate group tribute gifts, which may be applied toward a single bench dedication. Bench dedication gifts are fully tax-deductible.
