Public Meetings on Lawrence Berkeley Lab Second Campus

The proposed Second Campus for the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is an effort to consolidate laboratory programs now in leased spaces spread throughout the Bay Area, provide room for future Lab growth, and provide long-term cost savings as the Lab pursues its scientific research mission.

Of the six potential sites selected by the Lab, three are all or partially in Berkeley: Berkeley Aquatic Park West, Golden Gate Fields, and an Emeryville/West Berkeley site already home to some LBNL offices.

Public meetings have been scheduled for each of the six sites. The meetings will include presentations about Berkeley Lab, information on potential site development, and comments from local officials. Members of the public and community organizations are invited to attend, listen, and comment.
