The development of the Undergraduate Academic Building will create a new hub for undergraduate instruction in the center of the UC Berkeley campus. The building will replace a surface parking lot to the west of Dwinelle Hall in line with the 2022 Campus Master Plan's vision. It will serve as a centralized home for Letters & Science Advising, offering meeting rooms, office space, and collaboration areas. Moreover, the Undergraduate Academic Building will house more than 10 percent of the general assignment classrooms on the campus when completed. This new building will transform and enhance the undergraduate learning experience at UC Berkeley and foster academic excellence.
