Thumbnail Image Image-CR0359 Southeastern corner of the completed and open SRB, Berkeley showing the entrance from Oxford and Hearst Aves. The moment resisting steel frame with eccentric bracing system building is less than 1 km from the Hayward Fault and expected to be operational following a large earthquake. It currently houses "surge" occupants forced to relocate while other campus buildings are retrofitted for seismic hazard.
