{{Use mdy dates|date=December 2022}}
The '''campus of the [[University of California, Berkeley]]''', and its surrounding community are home to a number of notable buildings by early 20th-century campus architect [[John Galen Howard]], his peer [[Bernard Maybeck]] (best known for the San Francisco [[Palace of Fine Arts]]), and their colleague [[Julia Morgan]]. Subsequent tenures as supervising architect held by [[George W. Kelham]] and [[Arthur Brown, Jr.]] saw the addition of several buildings in neoclassical and other revival styles, while the building boom after World War II introduced modernist buildings by architects such as [[Vernon DeMars]], [[Joseph Esherick (architect)|Joseph Esherick]], [[John Carl Warnecke]], [[Gardner Dailey]], [[Anshen & Allen]], and [[Skidmore, Owings and Merrill]]. Recent decades have seen additions including the postmodernist [[Haas School of Business]] by [[Charles Willard Moore]], Soda Hall by [[Edward Larrabee Barnes]], and the East Asian Library by [[Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects]].

What is considered the historic campus today resulted from the 1898 "International Competition for the [[Phoebe Hearst]] Architectural Plan for the University of California," funded by the wealthy eponymous philanthropist mother of [[William Randolph Hearst]] and initially held in [[Antwerp]]; eleven finalists were judged again in San Francisco the next year.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/gri_33125010296479/ |title=The International Competition for the Phoebe Hearst Architectural Plan for the University of California |date=1899 |access-date=30 December 2022}}</ref> This unprecedented competition came about from one-upmanship between the prominent [[William Randolph Hearst|Hearst]] and [[Leland Stanford|Stanford]] families of the Bay Area. In response to the founding of [[Stanford University]], the Hearst Family decided to "adopt" the fledgling University of California and develop their own world-class institution. Although [[Émile Bénard]], a Frenchman, won the competition, he disliked the "uncultured" San Francisco atmosphere and refused to personally revise the plan to the site. He was replaced by fourth-place winner [[John Galen Howard]], who would become UC Berkeley's resident campus architect in 1901.<ref name=Woodbridge>{{cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/johngalenhowardu0000wood/ |title=John Galen Howard and the University of California |author=Woodbridge, Sally Byrne |url-access=registration |date=2002 |publisher=University of California Press |location=Berkeley, California |isbn=0-520-22992-4}}</ref>{{rp|57}} Only [[University House, Berkeley|University House]], designed by architect [[Albert Pissis]] and completed in 1911 as a residence for the President of the University of California, was placed according to the original Bénard plan; today it is the residence of UC Berkeley's Chancellor.<ref name=Woodbridge/>{{rp|45}} However, the general campus orientation initially proposed by Olmsted and followed by his successors has persisted, with the main axis of the campus running uphill from west to east along what is now Campanile Way.<ref name=CED-archive>{{cite web |url=https://archives.ced.berkeley.edu/campus-architecture |title=Campus Architecture |publisher=College of Environmental Design, University of California, Berkeley |access-date=6 January 2023}}</ref>
==Beaux-Arts era (1901–1950)==
For the first half of the 20th century, Berkeley campus architecture was led by a series of three notable Bay Area architects famed for their work in San Francisco: John Galen Howard (1901–1924), [[George W. Kelham]] (1927–1936), and [[Arthur Brown, Jr.]] (1938–1948).
===Howard designs the classical core===
The oldest parts of the campus that remain were built in the [[Beaux-Arts architecture|Beaux-Arts]] Classical style in the early 1900s, which was the style preferred by John Galen Howard and Phoebe Hearst (who paid his salary). This area is now referred to as the "classical core" of the campus. Howard reoriented the main campus axis to its present-day alignment along Campanile Way, as a continuation of the line of Center Street.<ref name=Woodbridge/>{{rp|65–66}} This divided the campus into four pieces: the park-like west side, as a buffer to the city of Berkeley; the central core, with its monumental buildings; the hilly east, "a majestic natural background and climax to the composition"; and the south, given to athletic pursuits.<ref name=Woodbridge/>{{rp|66–67}} With the support of University President [[Benjamin Ide Wheeler]], Howard designed more than twenty buildings, which set the tone for the campus up until its expansion in the 1950s and 1960s. These included the [[Hearst Greek Theatre]] (1903), [[California Hall (UC Berkeley)|California Hall]] (1905), the [[Hearst Memorial Mining Building]] (1907), [[Sather Gate]] (1908), Durant Hall (1911), Wellman Hall (1912), the {{convert|307|ft|m|adj=on}} [[Sather Tower]] (1914; nicknamed "the Campanile" after its architectural inspiration, [[St Mark's Campanile]] in Venice), [[Doe Memorial Library]] (1917), [[Gilman Hall]] (1917), Hilgard Hall (1917), [[Wheeler Hall]] (1917), [[California Memorial Stadium]] (1923), (Old) [[LeConte Hall]] (1923), Haviland Hall (1924), and Hesse Hall (1924).<ref name=Woodbridge/>{{rp|177}} Buildings he regarded as temporary, nonacademic, or not particularly "serious" were designed in shingle or [[Gothic architecture|Collegiate Gothic]] styles, including North Gate Hall (1906), Dwinelle Annex (1920), and Stephens Hall (1923).<ref name=Woodbridge/>{{rp|177}}
[[File:Sather-Gate.jpg|thumb|left|[[Sather Gate]] marks the original southern entrance to the campus, and now the entrance from [[Sproul Plaza]]]]
Multiple buildings and structures in the classical core are listed as a single aggregated [[California Historical Landmark]] [[California Historical Landmarks in Alameda County|(no. 946)]]<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.californiahistoricallandmarks.com/landmarks/chl-946 |title=CHL No. 946 University of California, Berkeley - ''Alameda'' |date=September 7, 1981 |website=California Historical Landmark |access-date=6 January 2023}}</ref> and also are listed individually in the [[National Register of Historic Places]]:

[[File:Wheeler Hall--UC Berkeley--Panoramic.jpg|thumb|right|Wheeler Hall, built to represent John Galen Howard's "City of Learning" design, currently houses the campus' largest lecture hall]]
John Galen Howard retired in 1924,<ref name=Woodbridge/>{{rp|167}} his support base gone with both Phoebe Hearst's death and President Wheeler's resignation in 1919. William Randolph Hearst, seeking to memorialize his mother, contributed to Howard's resignation by commissioning [[Bernard Maybeck]] and [[Julia Morgan]] to design a series of dramatic buildings on the southern part of the campus. These were originally to include a huge domed auditorium, a museum, an art school, and a women's gymnasium, all arranged on an eastward esplanade and classically oriented towards the campanile. However, only the Hearst Women's Gymnasium was completed before the [[Great Depression]], at which point Hearst decided to focus on his [[Hearst Castle|estate]] at [[San Simeon, California|San Simeon]] instead.
===Steam tunnels===
Underneath UC Berkeley's oldest buildings is a system of [[steam tunnel]]s which carry steam for heat and power.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Steam Tunnels at UC Berkeley|url=https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~fricke/undercal/|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=www.ocf.berkeley.edu}}</ref> During the 1960s, Berkeley students chained the doorknobs of the Chancellor's office in protest over the Vietnam War. The Chancellor, having no other way in or out of the building, used the steam tunnels to escape. Afterwards, the exterior double doors on that building were changed so they only had one doorknob, and this remains today.
===Kelham continues precedent===
[[File:VLSB, UC Berkeley (6377).JPG|thumb|right|With more than {{cvt|400000|ft2|acre ha}} of usable space, the [[Valley Life Sciences Building]] is the largest academic building at Berkeley and was the largest building west of the Mississippi River when it was completed in 1930.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://dac.berkeley.edu/valley-life-sciences-building |title=Valley Life Sciences Building |website=Disability Access & Compliance, University of California, Berkeley |access-date=6 January 2023}}</ref>]]
From 1927 until his death in 1936, George W. Kelham was supervising architect for the campus; Kelham previously had arrived on the West Coast in the wake of the [[1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire]] and remained there to design notable replacement buildings, including the [[Asian Art Museum (San Francisco)|San Francisco Public Library]] that was integrated into Howard's Beaux-Arts design for the city government complex at [[Civic Center, San Francisco|Civic Center]]. Subsequently, he was appointed the supervising architect of the campus at UCLA in 1925.<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|20}}
During his tenure, Kelham never prepared an overall campus plan update, which fell instead on [[Warren C. Perry]], who had succeeded Howard as the head of the School of Architecture.<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|21}} Kelham designed several individual buildings, including [[Bowles Hall]], 1928;<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|257}} [[Valley Life Sciences Building]], 1930;<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|147}} [[International House, Berkeley|International House]], 1930;<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|288}} [[Moses Hall]], 1931;<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|80}} McLaughlin Hall, 1931;<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|111}} the Engineering Materials Laboratory, 1931 (later replaced by Davis Hall);<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|117}} and the Men's Gym, 1933 (remodeled and now named [[Haas Pavilion]]).<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|171}} [[Bowles Hall]] is California's oldest state-owned dormitory and is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Two [[mosaic]] murals by [[Helen Bell Bruton]] (''Sculpture and Dance'') and [[Florence Alston Swift]] (''Music and Painting'') were commissioned by the [[Works Progress Administration]] and installed in 1936 on the Old Art Gallery,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://livingnewdeal.org/projects/old-art-gallery-murals-berkeley-ca/ |title=University of California: Old Art Gallery mosaics — Berkeley CA |website=The Living New Deal |access-date=11 January 2023}}</ref> which originally served as a small utility building designed by Howard and completed in 1904.<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|201–204}} After Kelham died in 1936, the architectural duties in progress fell on his junior partner, [[Harry Thomsen]].<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|21}}
===Brown's neoclassical approach===
[[File:Bancroft Library - University of California, Berkeley - DSC04902.JPG|thumb|right|Bancroft Library, view west from the Sather Tower esplanade]]
From 1938 to 1948, the San Francisco architect [[Arthur Brown Jr.]], who had designed several notable buildings in San Francisco, Washington D.C., Stanford University, and elsewhere, served as campus planner and chief architect; he was appointed during the planning phase for Stern Hall and the Administration Building, which would later be renamed Sproul Hall.<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|22}} Brown's Beaux-Arts credentials had been established with the design of [[San Francisco City Hall]] (1915).<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|22}}
With his 1944 general plan, Brown broke the long east–west cross-campus axis that dated back to the earliest plans by Olmsted; he shortened it to terminate just before the northeast corner of campus, where he had planned library and mathematics buildings. In addition, he designated uses for the unused northwest (forestry, agriculture, and home economics) and southeast (jurisprudence, anthropology, and arts) corners.<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|23}} The final version of the 1944 plan reduced open spaces on campus to a minimum, as maintaining the Beaux-Arts precedents using low, sprawling buildings in the constrained site was inadequate to handle the forecasted explosive growth in enrollment, and he resigned his post in 1948.<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|24}} At Berkeley, he designed many of his last works, including the Cyclotron Building, 1940;<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|279}} Sproul Hall, 1941;<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|190}} Minor Hall, 1941;<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|218}} Donner Laboratory, 1942;<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|107}} and Bancroft Library (originally Doe Annex), 1949.<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|55}}
==Postwar growth (1950–1980)==
===1951 Campus Plan Study===
{{UC Berkeley campus map|side=right}}
After Brown's departure, the university's Office of Architects and Engineers (A & E), which was established in 1944, assumed supervisory responsibility for campus planning and development. Under the direction of chief architect Robert J. Evans, the office produced a Campus Plan Study in 1951, departing from the Beaux-Arts designs championed over the past fifty years: "blindly following policies and concepts of monumentality unsuited to contemporary requirements ... would straight-jacket a live and vital University into inflexible buildings [and] deprive it of its open spaces, its natural beauty and its true monumentality."<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|25}} Instead, heights would be governed by coverage (not to exceed twenty to thirty percent) and materials selection should be responsive to "the organic requirements of the occupants and ... create maximum practical internal flexibility".<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|25}} The 1952 plan also included high-rise dormitories, to be built south of the main campus.<ref name=LHP-2>{{cite report|url=http://www.sabbatini-loyd.com/r-UCB-LHP-FullReport-Screen.pdf |title=Landscape Heritage Plan |date=June 2004 |chapter=Historical Significance |chapter-url=https://capitalstrategies.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/lhs_historical_significance.pdf |publisher=University of California, Berkeley |pages=9–32 |access-date=13 January 2023}}</ref>{{rp|27}} [[Lawrence Halprin]] was retained as a consulting landscape architect and submitted a master plan in 1954, but it never was followed.<ref name=LHP-2/>{{rp|28}}

====Cory Hall====
[[File:Cory Hall Berkeley.jpg|thumb|left|Cory Hall, as remodeled with fifth floor]]
One of the first new developments in the postwar era was Cory Hall, which houses the Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science in the northeast corner of campus. Originally 4 stories, it was designed by Will G. Corlett & Arthur W. Anderson Architects and built in 1950 north of [[Hearst Memorial Mining Building]]. The building was named after [[Clarence Cory]], who became the first professor of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at Berkeley in 1892. Several renovations have been performed since then, including the addition of a distinctive fifth floor, designed by Crosby Thornton Marshall Associates, in 1985.<ref>{{cite report |author=Rutherford + Chekene |url=https://capitalstrategies.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/1325_cory_hall_tier_1_rc_20181220.pdf |title=ASCE 41-17 Tier 1 Seismic Evaluation, Cory Hall |date=December 27, 2018 |access-date=March 10, 2021}}</ref>  Cory Hall was the only site bombed twice by the [[Unabomber]], in 1982 and 1985.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://dac.berkeley.edu/cory-hall |title=Cory Hall |website=University of California, Berkeley {{!}} Disability Access & Compliance |access-date=13 January 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/unabomber/bkgrdstories.victims.htm |title=To Unabomb Victims, a Deeper Mystery |author1=Lardner, George |author2=Adams, Lorraine |date=April 14, 1996 |newspaper=The Washington Post |access-date=13 January 2023 |quote=His bombings at Berkeley, where he taught math for two years in the late 1960s, were among the least personal.

==== Law Building ====
A new building for the [[UC Berkeley School of Law|School of Law]] designed by Warren Charles Perry was dedicated in 1951,<ref>{{Cite web|title=PCAD - Warren Charles Perry|url=https://pcad.lib.washington.edu/person/702/|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=pcad.lib.washington.edu}}</ref> in the southeastern corner of campus at the intersection of Piedmont Avenue and Bancroft Way. The School of Jurisprudence originally had been in what is present-day Durant Hall (1912). The site of the new building followed the Brown plan. The building was named Boalt Hall, carried over from the prior building, but the name was stripped in January 2020 after the racist views of its namesake, prominent local lawyer [[John Henry Boalt]], became public.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/30/us/berkeley-boalt-hall-name-change.html |title=Berkeley Law School Drops Boalt Name Over Racist Legacy |author=Cowan, Jill |date=January 30, 2020 |newspaper=The New York Times |access-date=13 January 2023}}</ref> In 2017, it was discovered that an 1877 speech by Boalt published by the [[California State Senate]] on "The Chinese Question"<ref>{{cite report |url=https://archive.org/details/chineseimmigrati00cali_1/ |title=Chinese Immigration: Its Social, Moral, and Political Effect |chapter=The Chinese Question |author=Boalt, John H. |date=1878 |publisher=California State Senate |chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/chineseimmigrati00cali_1/page/246/mode/2up |access-date=13 January 2023}}</ref> later was used to support the passage of the [[1882 Chinese Exclusion Act]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.berkeley.edu/2020/01/30/boalt-hall-denamed/ |title=UC Berkeley removes racist John Boalt's name from law school |author=Kell, Gretchen |work=Berkeley News |access-date=13 January 2023}}</ref>
A four-story expansion, designed by [[William Wurster|Wurster]], Bernardi, & Emmons,<ref name="centennial" /> was initiated in 1959, by Boalt Hall alumni who helped raise funds for building the Earl Warren Legal Center. At the same time, the university drew plans for additional classroom, office, and library space. A seven-story high-rise law student dormitory, Manville Hall, was made possible through gifts of other friends of the school. The three-part project was scheduled for completion in 1967.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Douglass|first=John|last2=Thomas|first2=Sally|title=University of California History Digital Archives: Berkeley Colleges and Schools.|url=https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/uchistory/general_history/campuses/ucb/colleges.html|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=www.lib.berkeley.edu|language=en}}</ref> After a remodeling and expansion project was completed in 1996, designed by Crodd Chin, Manville Hall was converted to offices and renamed Simon Hall; law student housing was moved to Manville Apartments in downtown Berkeley.

====Old Stanley Hall====
The modernist Biochemistry and Virus Laboratory, designed by Michael Arthur Goodman Sr., a professor of architecture, was built at the site of what is now Stanley Hall in 1952. The building received a merit award from the [[American Institute of Architects]] in 1954.<ref>{{Cite web|title=PCAD - University of California, Berkeley (UCB), Biochemistry and Virus Laboratory, Berkeley, CA|url=https://pcad.lib.washington.edu/building/5674/|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=pcad.lib.washington.edu}}</ref> It was renamed the Molecular Biology and Virus Laboratory in 1963, and renamed again as Stanley Hall after the biochemist, virologist, and Nobel Prize winner [[Wendell Meredith Stanley]] upon his death in 1971. In 1997, it was rated seismically poor, and it was demolished in 2003.<ref>{{Cite web|title=9.26.2007 - Stanley Hall: Facts at a glance|url=https://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2007/09/26_stanley-facts.shtml|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=www.berkeley.edu}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Demolition of Stanley Hall|url=https://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2003/04/02_stanley.shtml|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=www.berkeley.edu}}</ref> The new, current Stanley Hall was opened in 2007.
====Dwinelle Hall====
[[File:Dwinelle Hall from Sather Tower (52081474015).jpg|thumb|right|Dwinelle Hall classrooms (left) and offices (right)]]
{{main|Dwinelle Hall}}
[[Dwinelle Hall]] was designed by Weihe, Frick and Kruse, architects, with Eckbo Royston & Williams, landscape artists.<ref>{{Cite web|title=PCAD - University of California, Berkeley (UCB), Dwinelle Hall, Berkeley, CA|url=https://pcad.lib.washington.edu/building/6693/|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=pcad.lib.washington.edu}}</ref> It was built in 1953 north of Sproul Plaza, to the west of Wheeler Hall. Expansion was completed in 1998. The southern block of Dwinelle Hall contains three levels of classrooms as well as four lecture halls, and the northern block houses seven stories of faculty and department offices. It is named after the lawyer and politician [[John W. Dwinelle]], who introduced the [[Organic Act]] establishing the [[University of California]].
Its rooms are strangely numbered both because Dwinelle Hall was built with entrances on different levels on a slope and because its expansions were numbered differently from the original building. Because this confusing building is host to both large lecture classes and numerous discussion classes, it is sometimes called the "freshman maze."
===1956 Long Range Development Plan===
[[File:Memorial Glade.jpg|thumb|Memorial Glade, at the center of the Berkeley campus.]]
In 1955, to transform the A & E study into a Long Range Development Plan, the [[Regents of the University of California|Regents]] appointed a Committee on Campus Planning that included Regent Donald H. McLaughlin as chairman, Chancellor [[Clark Kerr]], and [[William Wurster]], who was both Campus Consulting Architect and dean of the College of Architecture. The plan was published in 1956. Wurster championed the development of high-rise buildings to ensure that open spaces could be preserved, codifying the 25% coverage ratio, which also would "restore the campus to its old sculptural form."<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|26}} He also retained Brown's shortened main axis and first proposed the development of what would become Memorial Glade, north of Doe Library; in the immediate aftermath of the war, that space was occupied by temporary buildings.<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|26}} Student circulation was considered, with a ten-minute class change time proposed.<ref name=LHP-2/>{{rp|28}} [[Thomas D. Church]] succeeded Halprin as consulting landscape architect for the campus in 1957, and oversaw the removal of most vehicle traffic through campus.<ref name=LHP-2/>{{rp|29}}
Initial development under the new plan included Morrison and Hertz Halls, the Anthropology and Art Practice Building, the first phase of the Student Center, Campbell Hall, O'Brien Hall, and McCone Hall. University Hall on Oxford Street and first two units of the Residence Halls in Southside were also built during this time.<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|26–27}} For the first time, large-scale demolition claimed buildings dating back to the 1880s.<ref name=LHP-2/>{{rp|28}}
====Hertz and Morrison Halls====
Hertz and Morrison Halls, both designed by Gardner A. Dailey & Associates, were completed in 1958. They are located south of the Faculty Club near the southeastern edge of campus and connected to each other by a covered walkway. Both buildings have gable roofs, and compared to other post-War developments, both are relatively small in size: Hertz Hall is a 4-story concert hall, and Morrison Hall is 2 stories. Both buildings are used by the Department of Music.
Hertz Hall was named for the 1915-30 conductor of the San Francisco Symphony, [[Alfred Hertz]], who left his estate to Berkeley for music. Its 678-seat concert hall hosts free noontime concerts during the academic year. The building also houses the music department's collection of historic organs.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Hertz Hall &#124; Disability Access & Compliance|url=https://dac.berkeley.edu/hertz-hall|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=dac.berkeley.edu}}</ref> Morrison Hall was named after May T. Morrison, class of 1878, who left money for this building in her will, as well as for the Morrison Library in Doe.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Morrison Hall &#124; Disability Access & Compliance|url=https://dac.berkeley.edu/morrison-hall|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=dac.berkeley.edu}}</ref>
====Anthropology and Art Practice Building====
A 6-story building designed by Gardner A. Dailey was built east of the Law Building in 1959. Until 2021, it was named Kroeber Hall after the anthropology professor [[Alfred Kroeber]]. It houses the Departments of Anthropology and Art Practice along with the [[Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology]], the Worth Ryder Art Gallery, and the Anthropology Library.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Anthropology & Art Practice &#124; Disability Access & Compliance|url=https://dac.berkeley.edu/anthropology-art-practice|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=dac.berkeley.edu}}</ref> On January 26, 2021, Berkeley officials announced the removal of the name Kroeber Hall, citing Kroeber's unethical actions toward Native American communities.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Kell|first=Gretchen|last2=relations|first2=Media|date=January 26, 2021|title=Kroeber Hall, honoring anthropologist who symbolizes exclusion, is unnamed|url=https://news.berkeley.edu/2021/01/26/kroeber-hall-unnamed/|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=Berkeley News|language=en-US}}</ref>
====Upper Sproul, King Student Union, and Chavez Student Center====
The original Martin Luther King Jr. Student Union building, owned by the ASUC Auxiliary, was constructed with funds gained from the sale of the Cal sports teams to the university in 1959. The original building was designed by [[Vernon DeMars]], professor of architecture. It contains an information center, multicultural center, lounges, a bookstore, restaurants and a pub, an art studio and computer lab.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Martin Luther King Jr. Student Union &#124; Disability Access & Compliance|url=https://dac.berkeley.edu/martin-luther-king-jr-student-union|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=dac.berkeley.edu}}</ref>
The Chavez Student Center was built in 1960 and named in honor of [[Cesar Chavez]], the founding president of the farm workers' union. The building was once mainly a dining commons and lounge, but in 1990 it was renovated to house various student services.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Cesar E.

====Old Campbell Hall====
{{main|Campbell Hall (UC Berkeley)}}
====O'Brien Hall====
A modernist 3-story building designed by Van Bourg & Nakamura<ref name="crg" /> was built in 1959 adjoined to the eastern side of Hesse Hall. In 1968, it was named after [[Morrough Parker O'Brien]], who spent two decades as an engineering professor before serving as dean of the College of Engineering from 1948 to 1959.<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|112–113}} It houses environmental engineering and the Water Resources Center Archives.<ref>{{Cite web|title=O'Brien Hall &#124; Disability Access & Compliance|url=https://dac.berkeley.edu/obrien-hall|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=dac.berkeley.edu}}</ref>
====McCone Hall====
McCone Hall, a 7-story building designed by [[John Carl Warnecke]], was built in 1961 across from the [[Doe Memorial Library]] on the northern side of Memorial Glade and adjoined to the western side of Hesse Hall. It was originally called the Earth Sciences Building, and now houses the Departments of Earth & Planetary Science and Geography, the Earth Sciences and Map Library, and the [[Berkeley Seismological Laboratory]]. It was named after Berkeley alumnus and former CIA director [[John A. McCone]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=McCone Hall &#124; Disability Access & Compliance|url=https://dac.berkeley.edu/mccone-hall|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=dac.berkeley.edu}}</ref> A seismic retrofit and renovation was undertaken from 1997 to 1999.<ref>{{Cite web|title=04.28.99 - Construction Update: McCone Hall|url=https://www.berkeley.edu/news/berkeleyan/1999/0428/mccone.html|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=www.berkeley.edu}}</ref>
===1962 Long Range Development Plan and 1960s construction boom===
To reflect changes in conditions, a revised Long Range Development Plan was prepared in 1962 under the direction of an expanded Campus Planning Committee headed successively by Chancellors [[Glenn T. Seaborg]] and [[Edward Strong]]. In addition to Wurster, the committee included Consulting Landscape Architect [[Thomas Church (landscape architect)|Thomas Church]], Campus Architect Louis A. DeMonte of the Office of Architects and Engineers and four other university officials. The new plan related to the [[California Master Plan for Higher Education]] of 1960, which established the roles of the public junior colleges, state college system, and the University of California, and the subsequent University Growth Plan prepared by President Clark Kerr to guide academic development of the university. Enrollment levels were established with a maximum at Berkeley of 27,500 projected for the mid-1960s. The revised plan also included the use of Strawberry Canyon and the hill area, as well as outlying campus properties not previously considered, and incorporated several landscaping proposals prepared by Church for the central campus, most notably the Springer Memorial Gateway on the west side<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|156}} and the landscaping for Wurster Hall.<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|27–28;217–218}}
During the 1960s, 17 major buildings were constructed on the central campus. Several more were developed on the peripheral sites, including Etcheverry Hall, the Berkeley Art Museum, the Unit 3 Residence Halls, and several parking structures. The upper hill was developed with two buildings by Anshen and Allen, Lawrence Hall of Science and the Silver Space Sciences Laboratory.<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|29}}
The administration moved out of Sproul and into California Hall, situated in the heart of campus, after students barricaded themselves in Sproul during the 1964 [[Free Speech Movement]]. (Today, Sproul Hall houses Student Services and the Admissions Office, and Sproul Plaza is the center of student activities.)
====Northeast science and engineering buildings====
The northeast quadrant of campus, north of [[Strawberry Creek]] and east of Doe Memorial Library, was the site of the most active development during the 1960s. Several buildings were constructed for math, science, and engineering departments.
=====Latimer, Pimentel, and Hildebrand Halls=====
{{see also|UC Berkeley College of Chemistry}}
Latimer, Pimentel, and Hildebrand Halls, a group of modernist buildings designed by [[Anshen & Allen]], were built between 1963 and 1966 for the [[UC Berkeley College of Chemistry|College of Chemistry]].<ref name="crg" /> They joined the existing chemistry buildings Gilman Hall, Lewis Hall, and Giauque Hall.
Latimer Hall, an 11-story building, was built between and to the north of Gilman and Lewis Halls in 1963. It is named after [[Wendell Mitchell Latimer]], dean of the College of Chemistry in the 1940s.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Latimer Hall &#124; Disability Access & Compliance|url=https://dac.berkeley.edu/navigating-cal/buildings/latimer-hall|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=dac.berkeley.edu}}</ref> Pimentel Hall, a round, 2-story lecture hall, was built north of Latimer Hall in 1964 and named after [[George C. Pimentel]], inventor of the chemical laser. Hildebrand Hall was built in between Gilman and Lewis Halls to the south of the complex in 1966. It is named after [[Joel Henry Hildebrand]], a long-time chemistry professor and dean, and houses the [[California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences]] and the Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Library.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Hildebrand Hall &#124; Disability Access & Compliance|url=https://dac.berkeley.edu/hildebrand-hall|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=dac.berkeley.edu}}</ref>
=====Etcheverry Hall=====
{{main|Etcheverry Hall}}
Etcheverry Hall, designed by [[Skidmore, Owings & Merrill]],<ref name="crg" /> was built in 1964. It was the first building built by the university on the north side of Hearst Avenue.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Etcheverry Hall &#124; Disability Access & Compliance|url=https://dac.berkeley.edu/etcheverry-hall|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=dac.berkeley.edu}}</ref> The building was named after Bernard A. Etcheverry, a professor of irrigation and drainage from 1915 to 1951.<ref name="centennial" /> Its basement housed the [[Berkeley Research Reactor]] from 1966 to 1987, and it now houses the Departments of Mechanical, Nuclear, and Industrial Engineering.
=====Birge Hall=====
Birge Hall, a 9-story building designed by [[John Carl Warnecke]], was completed in 1964 to provide more space for the Department of Physics. It was named for [[Raymond Thayer Birge]], who had been a professor of physics for 45 years (including 22 as department chair) when the new building was named in his honor. Bacon Hall, the university's elegant library and art gallery built in 1881, was demolished to provide space for construction.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Birge Hall &#124; Disability Access & Compliance|url=https://dac.berkeley.edu/birge-hall|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=dac.berkeley.edu}}</ref>
=====Davis Hall=====
Davis Hall, designed by [[Skidmore, Owings & Merrill]], was built in 1968 to the west of the Hearst Memorial Mining Building. It was named for Professor Raymond Davis, who spent 50 years on the Berkeley faculty and developed the Engineering Materials Laboratory into one of the world's finest. Davis Hall houses the offices of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, including its structural and earthquake engineering labs and teaching facilities. The building's ground-floor “structures bay” rises two stories, providing space for testing many types of materials and designs, from scale models of California highway overpasses to segments of the [[Golden Gate Bridge]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Davis Hall &#124; Disability Access & Compliance|url=https://dac.berkeley.edu/davis-hall|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=dac.berkeley.edu}}</ref>
=====Evans Hall=====
{{main|Evans Hall (UC Berkeley)}}
[[Evans Hall (UC Berkeley)|Evans Hall]], a 10-story building designed by Gardner A. Dailey and completed in 1971, is the tallest instructional building on the campus and houses the offices of faculty in [[mathematics]], [[statistics]], and [[economics]]. It was named after [[Griffith C. Evans]], chairman of mathematics from 1934 to 1949. It blocked the central axis and cast a tall shadow over the adjacent Hearst Memorial Mining Building, leading the former committee chairman Donald H. McLaughlin to remark that it had become "painfully intrusive".<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|28}} A recent campus development plan lists Evans Hall as a candidate for demolition within the next fifteen years.
====Southeastern section====
=====Bauer Wurster Hall=====
{{see also|UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design}}
[[File:9416 Wurster (28087873641).jpg|thumb|right|Bauer Wurster Hall from Sather Tower, with [[International House Berkeley]] in the background]]
Bauer Wurster Hall, a building for the [[UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design]], was completed in 1964 northwest of the Law Building. It was designed by [[Joseph Esherick (architect)|Joseph Esherick]], Vernon DeMars, and [[Donald Olsen]], members of the CED faculty. The building was originally named Wurster Hall for William Wurster, dean of the School of Architecture and its successor, the College of Environmental Design (1950–62), and his wife, the public housing advocate and lecturer [[Catherine Bauer Wurster]].
=====Calvin Laboratory=====

==Modern developments (1980+)==
Construction had slowed significantly by the 1980s and 1990s. Developments in this era included the Haas School of Business, the Bechtel Engineering Center, Tan Kah Kee Hall, Soda Hall, and the Genetics and Plant Biology Building. In addition, several athletics facilities were built in the southwestern area of campus.
===Soda Hall===
Soda Hall, which is located north of Cory Hall and houses the Computer Science Division, is one of the few classroom buildings on campus with showers.{{Citation needed|date=February 2008}} It was designed by the New York architect [[Edward Larrabee Barnes]]<ref>{{Cite web|date=September 24, 2004|title=Edward Larrabee Barnes -- architect|url=https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Edward-Larrabee-Barnes-architect-2692004.php|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=SFGATE|language=en-US}}</ref> with the local firm [[Allen and Anshen]] and completed in August 1994 at the cost of $35.5 million, raised entirely from private gifts.
===New construction developments===
Recent developments include the newly completed [[Jean Hargrove Music Library]], the fourth free-standing music library to be constructed in the United States.
In 2006, the new [[Wendell Meredith Stanley|Stanley]] Hall, named after the 1946 winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, opened its doors. It houses the headquarters of the [[California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences]] (QB3) and serves as a center for interdisciplinary teaching and research as part of the campus Health Sciences Initiative. Designed by [[Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=70 Years of Designing for People and Place &#124; ZGF|url=https://www.zgf.com/|access-date=September 30, 2022|website=www.zgf.com}}</ref> the {{convert|285000|sqft|m2|abbr=on}}. building contains 40 laboratories, and a 300-seat auditorium.
Davis Hall, primarily the location of the Civil Engineering Department, will be expanded to serve as the headquarters for the [[Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society]] (CITRIS). Estimated at {{convert|185000|sqft|m2|abbr=on}}., the building will support a "broad array of projects, from information systems for emergency and disaster response in an earthquake to life-saving medical alert sensors, to ‘smart’ buildings that automatically adjust their internal environments, to save energy and reduce pollution." It will include [[Nanotechnology|nanofabrication]] facilities, labs, and classrooms.

==Student housing==
{{main|University of California, Berkeley student housing}}
Following World War II, the Regents decided to offer on-campus housing to 25% of its undergraduates, with plans to build six residence hall complexes housing 4,800 students. Ultimately, Units 1, 2, and 3 were completed in the 1960s, providing housing for up to 3,100 undergraduates; the architect was John Carl Warnecke with landscape design by [[Lawrence Halprin]]. Each unit as completed had four nine-story concrete towers surrounding a two-story building with a dining hall and common facilities. The design of Unit 3 was modified to reduce cost compared to the first two.<ref name=Helfand/>{{rp|301–303}}
