CAMPBELL HALL, an $80-million facility, houses Berkeley’s famed programs in astronomy, astrophysics, and experimental physics. Featuring highly interactive teaching and research spaces, the new building ensures Berkeley’s continued preeminence in research and teaching in the physical sciences. Included are state-of-the-art facilities for a vast spectrum of research in astronomy and cosmology and a rooftop teaching observatory used for general observing by both undergraduates and the general public.
Campbell Hall was made possible by public-private funding, with major funding provided by:
- The Heising-Simons Foundation
- National Institute of Standards and Technology
- The State of California
The Campbell Hall project team includes:
- Studios Architecture
- Hunt Construction Group (acquired by AECOM in 2014)
- UC Berkeley Capital Projects
