Hilgard Hall - Berkeley, California - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Many people forget that U.C. Berkeley was founded as a land grant college. Hilgard Hall, along with Wellman Hall and Giannini Hall form part of the original agricultural "quad" of the campus. The trio sit on a hill overlooking the valley of Strawberry Creek and across from the Life Sciences building. The style of the building is classical revival, and the building is adorned with traditional agricultural motifs such as sheaves of wheat and scythes. The building also features soft red colored columnar friezes of agricultural and classical images. Hilgard currently houses the ESPM (Environmental Sciences, Policy and Management) Department.
