Demolition, site work and new construction of an educational facility in Berkeley, California. Completed plans call for the construction of a 78,000-square-foot educational facility.

This project was awarded to Plant Construction Company and is currently under construction. As of November 2023, construction has commenced. Description of Work: The ASRB project is a 100% state-funded project that will provide a seismically resilient general assignment Classroom and Administrative building. The new approximate 78,000gsf facility will replace existing general assignment (GA) classroom space in Evans Hall delivering both a net increase in the number of GA classrooms and the number of classroom seats currently in Evans Hall. The new GA classrooms will be designed as flexible spaces, some of which are technology-enabled, that accommodate modern teaching and learning pedagogy. Several College of Letters and Science (L&S) units currently in Evans Hall will also have space in the new facility, including Undergraduate Advising, Executive Dean's offices and Undergraduate interdisciplinary Studies (UGIS). The co-location of GA Classrooms with College of L&S functions will provide a student-serving building that is centrally located on the Berkeley campus. The approximate 30,000sf project site is located in the southwest quadrant of campus, on the Dwinelle lot west of Dwinelle Hall, south of the Valley Life Sciences Building (VLSB), and north of the Dwinelle Hall Annex. The site is bounded on the south side by Frank Schlessinger Way, a vehicle access road, on the north side by Campanile Way, a pedestrian and vehicle roadway, on the west side by Spieker Plaza, a pedestrian pathway, and on the east side by Grade Street, a pedestrian pathway between Dwinelle Hall and the parking lot. The project site borders the Grinnell Natural Area at its southwest edge. The Grinnell pathway, a pedestrian corridor from downtown Berkeley, ends at the project site.
