Helios Energy Research Facility

Helios Energy Research Facility

The project is construction of an 112,600 sf research facility on the UC Berkeley campus, demolition of an existing 210,000 sf building on the project site, and development of the initial elements of a site-wide circulation and open space plan. The project implements the campus' Long Range Development Plant, the impacts of which were evaluated in the Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) EIR (SCH# 2003082131). Addendum #7 to the LRDP EIR was prepared to determine project conformance with the LRDP and to evaluate whether the project would cause any new significant environmental effect not considered in the 2020 LRDP EIR, increase the severity of any impact previously found significant in the 2020 LRDP EIR, new information of substantial importance which was not known at the time of the 2020 LRDP EIR was certified has become available, or that the circumstances under which the LRDP is being implemented haved changed to involve new significant environmental effects or substantially increased severity in environmental effects. The Addendum #7 concluded that the project is consistent with the LRDP and that none of the conditions requiring the preparation of subsequent or supplemental environmental review to the LRDP EIR are present.
