The University of California, Berkeley is planning to initiate construction on the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) in the first quarter of 2003. The $60-million, 130,000-sf facility will be sited on the engineering portion of the campus. Designed by John Fain Partners of Los Angeles, the architects who created the college of engineering's 25-year master plan, the building will be comprised of a 20,000-sf microfabrication lab, a 20,000-sf clean room for the creation of nanotechnology elements, and flex-space.

An $80-million, four-year renovation of the Hearst building is also nearing completion. Additionally, the seismically unsafe Stanley Hall will be replaced by a quantitative biomedical research building.
