The UC Davis Domes, also known as Baggins End, are a community of 26 UCD students living in a village of 14 fiberglass domes. Two people live in each dome. Although each dome has its own kitchen and bathroom, the Domies share meals together a few times a week. It is a great example of a student cohousing community in a low density setting.
"Save the Domes!" follows the story of how the Domes almost got shut down in 2011, how the Domies rallied the greater community of co-opers and cohousers to lobby for saving the Domes; and organized hundreds of people to make repairs and renovations. Also inside are photos of life at the domes and information on how the domes are run.
