  • ACCOUNTABILITY PROFILE University of California, Berkeley
    ACCOUNTABILITY PROFILE University of California, Berkeley California’s Investment in Berkeley GRAND ASPIRATIONS built this university more than 140 years ago when Berkeley, the flagship institution of the University of California system, was established. The goal was to create an institution with attributes “equal to those of Eastern Colleges,” what today are called the Ivy League schools. This new university not only would educate students but also serve and assist the people of California. As a public research university, Berkeley was charged with seeking new knowledge and discovery to serve the public interest, and providing Californians access to its excellent educational opportunities. Public research universities are pivotal in realizing society’s potential for opportunity, innovation, social justice, and prosperity — extending the public good for the benefit of all. Today, Berkeley is recognized as a leader among the world’s universities in offering true breadth, access, and comprehensive excellence. As UC’s oldest campus, Berkeley is home to many historic sites, including South Hall [the first UC building, constructed in 1873], Hearst Greek Theatre [1903], California Hall [1905], Hearst Memorial Mining Building [1907], the Campanile [1914], Doe Library [1917], and Wheeler Hall [1917]. The campus has many world- class research museums, field stations, and other research centers, along with a library collection that ranks as one of the “Berkeley — the university — seems to best in the nation. In 2007 the Association of Research Libraries ranked me, more and more, to be California’s Berkeley’s library among the top five university research libraries in North America. Its rare and specialized collections, such as the Bancroft Library’s highest, most articulate idea of itself.” Mark Twain Papers and Project [the world’s largest collection of Twain — JOAN DIDION ’56 materials], serve educators and scholars from around the state and the Author world.

  • Loafer's Guide to the U.C. Berkeley Campus file:///Volumes/Music and Pictures/All Writing/Loafers Guide/In
    Loafer's Guide to the U.C. Berkeley Campus file:///Volumes/music and pictures/all writing/loafers guide/in... A LOAFER’S GUIDE TO THE U.C. BERKELEY CAMPUS b Caroln Doughert (last updated November 2004) Introduction, 2000 I started this book while attending graduate school at Berkeley in 1987, and completed the manuscript (to the extent that it is completed) in 1994, at which time I was living in the Midwest and was unable to show it to anyone who might have been interested. As I state in the following Prolog, a book like this is dated before it's begun-in the six years since I finished it several buildings have been demolished and several more of varying quality and prominence have been added to the campus. Departments have moved, services have disappeared and others have been created. And many of the places I mention, like the lobby of Hearst Mining and the Environmental Design library, are currently closed while undergoing renovation or seismic retrofit. I'm hoping, though, that the information in this book will be useful and entertaining to people who either remember what the campus used to be like (or want to know) and people who will find that many of the things I describe can still be found on campus. I'd like to encourage anyone who has additional information to add, or who would like to take on the task of updating this manuscript, to contact me at carolyn dot webmail at ntlworld dot com. Enjoy the book, and have fun exploring our beautiful and historic campus.

    RESOURCE GUIDE FOR PARENTS CalParents elena zhukova RESOURCE GUIDE FOR PARENTS GETTING INVOLVED 4 STAYING CONNECTED 7 ACADEMICS 10 STUDENT HEALTH 17 CAMPUS SAFETY 19 STUDENT LIFE 22 RESOURCES 28 elena zhukova WELCOME TO BERKELEY Dear Cal Parents: UC Berkeley is a place of immense intellectual vitality, where some of today’s brightest students and scholars work together to deepen understanding of the world we live in. It is also a place that is steadfastly committed to widening the doors to educational opportunity, a place that sets young people from all backgrounds on a path towards success in their lives and in their careers. This combination of excellence and access is what defines and animates us; it is truly Berkeley’s DNA. I arrived at Berkeley in 1970 as a freshly minted PhD who had never been west of Philadelphia, and this institution transformed me – just as it continues to transform so many of those who study here, work here, visit, and otherwise come into contact with our campus. I know that Berkeley will prove just as transformative for your sons and daughters. This resource guide provides a wealth of information about UC Berkeley, and can serve as a starting point for any questions you might have about our campus. We also invite you to call on Cal Parents at any time if you need additional assistance. On behalf of the entire UC Berkeley community: Welcome to our family, and Go Bears! CAROL CHRIST Chancellor It is with great honor that we welcome you to the Cal family! We are excited that your student has chosen to study at the University of California, Berkeley.

Background At the November 6, 2014 LPC meeting the LPC reviewed the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the 2211 Harold Way Mixed-Use Project, including the Historic Resources Technical Report (HRTR) http://www.cityofberkeley.info/uploadedFiles/Planning_and_Development/Level_3_- _ZAB/Draft%20EIR_Appendix_part3.pdf . During the public comment period on the Draft EIR, community members raised concerns about potential impacts of the high-rise project to views from Campanile Way. The DEIR included the consideration of potential impacts to the views from Campanile Way under Cultural Resources. The Draft EIR identifies Campanile Way as a contributor to the Classical Core of the UC Berkeley Campus and therefore as a historical resource whose views are character-defining features, finding that the project would introduce new construction into the view, but not destroy it; in particular the formal view, from the center of the base of the Campanile, over the City below.

Location Map I. Background On November 25, 2014 a Landmark Initiation for Campanile Way roadway and environs was submitted by at least fifty residents of the City. Pursuant to Section 3.24.130 the public hearing was in January within seventy days of the initiation. To designate a property as a landmark, historic district, or structure of merit, the LPC must find that the property meets one or more of the criteria delineated in Landmarks Preservation Ordinance (LPO) Section 3.24.110. The significance criteria for Landmarks and Historic Districts in the City’s Preservation Ordinance are relatively specific and appear to align with the California and National Registers. In order to analyze potential findings the application needs to include: the location and boundaries of the landmark; and accompanying data required by the commission, including the characteristics which justify its designation and the particular features that should be preserved.

  • U C Berkeley Physical Design Framework
    U C BERKELEY PHYSICAL DESIGN FRAMEWORK NOVEMBER 2009 UC BERKELEY PHYSICAL DESIGN FRAMEWORK . UC BERKELEY PHYSICAL DESIGN FRAMEWORK PREFACE In March 2008, The Regents authorized the ‘pilot phase’ of a major reconfiguration of the capital projects approval process. This pilot phase would entail an initial test of the redesign, in order to examine its logistics and impacts prior to full implementation. In general, the new process would delegate much more authority to the campus for project approval, and would limit project-specific review by The Regents to very large and complex projects. Each campus would prepare a set of ‘framework’ plans that outline its capital investment strategy and physical design approach. Once those plans are approved by The Regents, then as long as a project meets certain thresholds, and conforms to the framework plans, it could be approved by the Chancellor, subject to a 15 day review by OP. One of these thresholds is dollar value: the currently proposed figure is $60 million or less. The framework plans for Berkeley include 3 documents: • The 2020 Long Range Development Plan provides a land use policy framework, within which projects can be prioritized and planned. • The Physical Design Framework describes the current state of the campus physical environment alongside our design objectives, and prescribes principles and guidelines to ensure projects in the capital plan meet the design objectives. • The 2009-2019 Capital Plan outlines both how the capital investment program would meet the campus’ academic and strategic objectives, and how the campus intends to fund the program. The Plan describes present conditions, outlines the campus’ objectives and priorities for the capital program, and details the campus’ financial strategy to meet those objectives.
