Set on a busy corner in downtown Berkeley, Calif., the whimsical appearance of the Telegraph-Haste Student Housing project reflects its vibrant college environment. Above a faux-rock facade, the 55-unit building features an amalgamation of timber, tile, iron accents and mismatched shutters.

Students at the independent college prep school received a unique lesson in construction planning and execution via the complex three-phase project that brings the historic campus into the 21st century.

The three-story, 36,000-sq-ft academic building provides a much needed new home for the college’s growing computer science department as well as a permanent makerspace. Unlike traditional campus structures, the building is a physical embodiment of the college’s forward-looking culture.

Even under the best conditions, the condensed 22-week timeline to convert a former pen manufacturing plant into the app-based health care company’s new 76,000-sq-ft headquarters would have been challenging.
