The Berkeley Space Center Master Plan, developed by HOK and Field Operations with UC Berkeley and SKS Partners, is a multi-phase 36-acre development that establishes a new research and development hub in the Silicon Valley. The $2 billion development will accelerate the area’s existing research and innovation ecosystem, catalyzing deeper collaboration between the private, academic, and governmental sectors.
Building on and advancing the University’s three-part mission of education, research, and public service, the proposed master plan features 1.4M sf of Class-A office and R&D space, including wet and dry labs, conference space, academic facilities, retail amenities, and nearly 18 acres of open space. Later phases of the project will include short-term stay facilities and student and faculty housing.
Prioritizing density, efficiency, and diversity of uses for tenants, all while ensuring a high level of environmental sustainability, the Berkeley Space Center will serve as a testbed to pioneer and advance novel low-carbon design and construction practices identified in the master plan. The master plan provides a comprehensive vision that unites building, landscape, movement, environment, sustainability, and larger social and intellectual missions for a bustling hub of innovation, creativity, and inspiration.
