Document Description
Completed in 1904, Cloyne Court at 2600 Ridge Road, was designed by John Galen Howard as a residential hotel for visitors to campus. Cloyne Court is a City of Berkeley Landmark (listed 1982) and on the National Register of Historic Places (listed 1992). The University Students' Cooperative Association (USCA) intends to stabilize the building by implementing seismic improvements and at the same time incorporate improved access as mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act. The proposed project involves minimal changes to the building. New wood shear walls would be added to the interior replacing existing interior brick fire walls to be removed for seismic safety.
