Hearst Memorial Mining Building
Hearst Memorial Mining Building, Neoclassical university building at UC Berkeley, California, US
The Hearst Memorial Mining Building features a vaulted entrance gallery, sculptured windows, and a grand marble staircase within its four-story structure.
Construction of the building began in 1902 and concluded in 1907, with funding from Phoebe Apperson Hearst in memory of her husband George.
The building serves as the headquarters for materials science research, continuing its legacy of advancing technological education at the University of California.
Modern laboratories within the building conduct experiments in computation, ceramics, metals, polymers, and the development of nanoscale materials.
The structure incorporates an elastic design that separates the exterior shell from the interior, allowing modifications while maintaining structural integrity.
