LeConte Hall, Physics department building at University of California, Berkeley, US
The three-story LeConte Hall features a rectangular form, hipped red-tile roof, and copper and glass skylight atop its Beaux Arts architecture.
Ernest Lawrence constructed the first functional cyclotron within LeConte Hall in 1928, marking a milestone in particle physics research at Berkeley.
The building housed eight Physics Nobel Prize-winning faculty members and four alumni, establishing its role in scientific advancement.
Classrooms, offices, laboratories, and mechanical spaces fill the building's four levels, supporting physics education and research activities.
The physics building contained the first atom collider, built by Ernest Lawrence in 1931, leading to the creation of Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.
