Final Environmental Impact Report for the UC Berkeley Innovation Zone

Final Environmental Impact Report for the UC Berkeley Innovation Zone

The UC Berkeley Innovation Zone project would demolish all existing structures and redevelop the project site with two laboratory buildings with vehicle parking. The two proposed buildings, referred to as the South Building and the North Building, would include offices, and other collaborative meeting spaces. Researchers, faculty, and students from multiple disciplines would use the spaces. The North Building would also include a parking garage. The Final EIR for the UC Berkeley Innovation Zone project provides responses to comments received on the Draft EIR for the approval and implementation of the project. The Draft EIR identifies significant impacts associated with the project, identifies and considers alternatives to the project, and identifies feasible mitigation measures and continuing best practices (CBPs) to avoid or reduce potential environmental impacts. The Final EIR also contains text revisions to the Draft EIR. This Final EIR, together with the Draft EIR, constitutes the complete EIR for the project.
