The campus was also recognized for producing minority undergraduates who successfully pursued PhD degrees in math, science and engineering. As you walk around the campus you will notice that the University currently has many construction projects underway. Well, rest assured, the new projects are funded by the State, FEMA, gifts, and University funds. Construction on campus is managed by the department of Capital Projects. Work is often disruptive, noisy and dusty, but as projects are completed, the campus will be a better place for all who study and work here.
Work is underway to assure an adequate and reliable water supply to the central campus.
Construction will occur in stages all over campus. The project is expected to be complete by fall 2001. Barker, Wurster, Barrows, Hildebrand and Latimer Halls will all undergo seismic upgrade work beginning in 2000 as part of UC Berkeley's comprehensive plan to improve the seismic safety of its facilities. Barker is expected to be complete in fall 2001 and Wurster will be finished in late 2002. Barrows, Latimer and Hildebrand will continue to be used throughout construction.
