Stern Hall, Women's residence hall at University of California, Berkeley, United States
Stern Hall is a four-story women's residence hall at the University of California in Berkeley that houses approximately 267 students. The building contains single, double, and triple rooms with shared bathrooms, common living spaces, laundry facilities, mail services, and bike storage throughout.
The building was constructed in 1942 with a grant from Rosalie Meyer Stern and became the first university-owned residence hall for female students. This development marked an important moment in creating dedicated housing for women students on campus.
The residence hall hosts the Empowering Womxn in STEAM program on its second floor, supporting gender diversity in science and technology fields. This space reflects the institution's commitment to inclusion across academic disciplines.
The residence is located on the UC Berkeley campus and accessible by public transportation. Visitors should note that this is an active residential building with restricted access limited to residents and authorized guests.
A mural by Diego Rivera titled 'Still Life and Blossoming Almond Trees' decorates the lower portion of the spiral staircase inside the building. This artwork is a noteworthy feature that many people overlook.
