Architecture within the UC Berkeley art Museum.
The UC Berkeley Art Museum was founded in 1963 after a donation was made to the university from artist and teacher Hans Hofmann. It was designed by Mario Ciampi and opened on Bancroft Street in 1970. In 1997 it was deemed seismically unsafe, and received a retrofit of steel braces, which will help support the building during an earthquake. It was decided that the museum should relocate and will move to a new location in the redesigned former University of California Press printing plant which is scheduled to open in 2015.
