Hearst Mining Circle

Back to location list

History

Directly south of Hearst Memorial Mining Building, the circle is a tranquil oasis at the east entrance to campus, surrounded by green and featuring a beautiful circular reflecting pool at its center. Obscured during several years of construction in the area, as the mining building was renovated and Stanley Hall was built, the well-loved Berkeley gathering spot is being restored to its original prominence, a priority of the campus's Landscape Master Plan.
