Housing at the University of California, Berkeley

The residential buildings feature multiple high-rise structures with spacious common areas, study lounges, and shared dining facilities for student accommodation.

The first official residence hall opened in 1938, followed by major expansion during the 1950s when Chancellor Clark Kerr initiated comprehensive housing development.

Residential units organize educational programs throughout the academic year, connecting students from different backgrounds through shared learning experiences.

Students select housing preferences through an online portal, with options ranging from traditional dormitories to apartment-style units for upperclassmen.

Each residential unit contains specific architectural elements that reflect different construction periods from 1938 through 2018, including the modern Blackwell Hall.
