Information About

Evans Hall (uc Berkeley)




Evans Hall is the Mathematics , Statistics , and Economics building at the University Of California, Berkeley , situated at the northeast corner of campus, just east of Memorial Glade . It was built in 1971 and is named after Griffith Conrad Evans , chairman of mathematics from 1934 to 1949. Evans Hall once contained the office of the Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski , a former Assistant Professor of Mathematics. Evans Hall is often referred to as one of the ugliest buildings on campus, along with Wurster Hall, ironically home of the Architecture Department. Historically, Evans Hall has been the home of many suicides, averaging just under one a year. This has been curbed by campus administration with the addition glass panelling on the 10th floor balcony to prevent jumpers.
