Sather Gate, Neoclassical gate at University of California, Berkeley, United States
Sather Gate stands at the southern entrance of the University of California Berkeley campus, featuring bronze and steel metalwork with classical architectural elements and decorative panels.
Jane K. Sather donated this entrance gate in 1910 to honor her husband Peder Sather, a trustee of the College of California that evolved into UC Berkeley.
The gate contains eight panels of bas-relief figures created by Professor Earl Cummings, representing different academic disciplines through classical sculptural representations.
Located between Sproul Plaza and the bridge over Strawberry Creek, this entrance connects the public area to the central campus grounds of UC Berkeley.
Between 2008 and 2009, the gate underwent an extensive restoration project focusing on its deteriorated metalwork, earning a 2010 Design Award from California Preservation Foundation.
