During the summer months at UC Berkeley, construction abounds, sometimes impeding students as they traverse the campus’s many footpaths. Below is a sample of ongoing construction projects for students to be aware of, courtesy of the Department of Facilities Services.
Sather Road
The major north-south corridor between Doe Library and California Hall will be closed for upgrades that will make the path level for handicap access. A small access path alongside California Hall is open to pedestrians.
Lower Sproul
The Lower Sproul Redevelopment project will close the footpath between Alumni House and Zellerbach Hall for the summer — preventing access to the Cesar Chavez Student Center and Zellerbach Hall from the west. The footpath is scheduled to reopen Sept. 1, Shaff said.
Oxford Street
Work on the foundation of the new Berkeley Art Museum has closed one driving lane and a sidewalk on part of Oxford Street for the next three or four weeks. One lane of Center Street will be closed when the foundation work moves to the south side of the project.
Campbell Hall
Between the Campanile and LeConte Hall, Esplanade Drive will be closed for underground utility work associated with the Campbell Hall replacement. Campbell Hall construction is running on time, with the installation of the sixth and final floor last week, exterior work to the building is now fully under way. Campbell Hall is scheduled to open in late 2014.
Hertz Hall
Shaff also said that telecommunications fiber will be installed in front of Hertz Hall, possibly impeding pedestrian traffic between Hertz Hall, Morrison Hall, Kroeber Hall and the Jean Gray Hargrove Music Library.
