UC Berkeley’s aspirations for the Richmond Bay Campus
To address challenges to human health through life sciences and public health research. To conduct research in ways that reduce our human environmental footprint, and to understand our global environment. To address challenges to our local and global economy through research in renewable energy, sustainable transportation, and energy efficient building design To build partnerships with industry and international collaborators to bring resources to UC Berkeley, LBNL, and the Richmond area
