Second Campus Site

Public Meetings Set for Six Finalists for Berkeley Lab’s Proposed Second Campus

WHAT: The University of California, manager of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), announced the public meeting schedule for the six potential sites for the Lab’s proposed second campus.

The six finalists were announced in May by the University of California following an extensive evaluation. The public meetings will involve presentations about Berkeley Lab from Lab representatives, information on potential site development, and comments from local officials. Members of the public and community organizations are invited to attend, listen, and comment, as well. 

Most of Berkeley Lab’s 4,200 employees work at its main site, but about 20 percent of them work in leased facilities around the East Bay, including at the Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) in Emeryville, the Joint Genome Institute (JGI) in Walnut Creek, and the Lab’s life science facilities in Berkeley. 

The proposed second campus is an effort to consolidate these existing laboratory programs and to provide the Lab long-term cost savings.
