Environmental Review

In order to assess the need for environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), major construction projects at UC Berkeley must undergo evaluation by Capital Strategies, specifically our Physical and Environmental Planning team.

The requirement for an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), which includes public review, depends on the anticipated impact level of certain projects. However, for the majority of projects, CEQA does not mandate a full EIR. Instead, a more limited environmental impact analysis is performed, which may or may not involve public review.
