Seismic Replacement Building 1 EIR

University California at Berkeley

DC&E prepared the environmental review for a new building that will house departments that are temporarily displaced while their existing buildings on campus undergo seismic retrofitting. After the University completes its seismic retrofitting program, the building will provide office and classroom space for one or more University departments. Key environmental issues included traffic impacts on residential neighborhoods from the proposed parking garage, visual impacts, and potential land use conflicts from siting a new structure on land that some community members perceive as open space.
