Wyatt Pavilion is one of the few original structures still standing on the UC Davis campus. Built in 1907, the Judging Pavilion, as it was then called, could accommodate 500 people (the campus had 23 students at the time) and sat on what is now the southeast corner of Peter J. Shields Avenue and East Quad. It now seats 200 people around its thrust stage.
