TB 9 —&nbsp;as it was dubbed — has been nationally recognized for its importance in art history with its inclusion on the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nps.gov/nr////feature/places/16000153.htm">National Register of Historic Places</a>&nbsp;and the California Register of Historical Resources.</p> June 20, 2016 - 12:28pm Patricia Bailey /news/famous-temporary-building-uc-davis-placed-national-register-historic /news/craft-center-gallery-show-features-ceramics-made-accessible <p>After a decade as a potter, Jill Van Zanten received a challenge that sparked a new project: Create accessible ceramics, or cups, plates and bowls that would be functional for people with hand dexterity issues or movement disorders.</p> <p>She learned that full access for the disabled means a lot more than wheelchair ramps and automatic doors.
