University House, Berkeley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The University House is a building on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley. Designed by the architect Albert Pissis, it was formerly the home of the president of the University of California, but is now the home of the chancellor of the Berkeley campus.
It is actually the only residence in the campus's central core, as all student housing lies outside the core campus (but within walking distance). At the beginning of every academic year, the chancellor invites the incoming class to a garden party at the University House. The chancellor then says a welcoming speech, and various Berkeley Choirs will sing. Various snacks and drinks are served on the lawn.
The Chancellor and his/her spouse live on the second floor of the home, while the ground floor is used for receptions and other events. The dining room features art on loan from the UC art library.
