University of California announced today that it has identified the Richmond Field Station as its preferred site for the proposed consolidation of its biosciences programs for Berkeley Lab. The UC-owned site presents the best opportunity to solve the Lab’s pressing space problems while allowing for long-term growth and maintaining the 80-year tradition of close cooperation with the UC Berkeley Campus. With this identification of a preferred site, the University will now move ahead with developing environmental impact studies and with the process of seeking final approval from the US Department of Energy for the project. A press conference will be held at the site at 11 a.m., which will be webcast. More>
The site looks lovely in the picture. I have only one concern about public transportation. I will check the actual location.
