Crews have completed demolition of University Hall and its annex building at 2140 University Avenue in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. Our recent site visit shows the parcel is currently graded in preparation for the first of two phases to rise for the UC Berkeley Innovation Zone development, the six-story Bakar Labs for Energy & Materials.
The Berkeley Design Review Committee is scheduled to review plans for a second building within the Innovation Zone in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. The project would create eight floors of laboratories, conference rooms, and classrooms to be occupied by a future institution and graduate students. The existing property is owned by UC Berkeley.
Construction is moving forward on Gateway, the future home for UC Berkeley’s first new college in over half a century. The College of Computing, Data Science, and Society, or CDSS, will occupy the new structure on the northwest edge of the parcel. Weiss/Manfredi is responsible for the design.
