VLSB History
The Valley Life Sciences Building (VLSB) was 1 of 4 building projects (Life Sciences Building, Life Sciences Addition, Genetics & Plant Biology Building, North West Animal Facility) undertaken to revitalize the biological sciences on the UC Berkeley Campus. The VLSB was the most ambitious. It was constructed in 1930—considered to be state-of-the-art—and was completely gutted and reconstructed on the interior.
The reorganization eliminated 11 traditional departments, e.g., Botany, Biochemistry, Genetics, Zoology, and formed 3 new departments: Integrative Biology, Molecular & Cell Biology, and Plant Biology.
IB will permit individuals or groups deemed by the Department to be consistent with the research and educational mission of the Department to rent or use the VLSB facilities. See IB's Fees.
