LBNL 2025 Long Range Development Plan

The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 2025 Long Range Development Plan, approved by the University of California on September 17, 2025, updates and supersedes the previous 2006 plan. The project maintains a total developed space projection of 2.42 million gross square feet to support the modernization of campus facilities while slightly reducing the projected on-campus adjusted daily population from 4,650 to 4,500 to reflect evolving work patterns. Key land use modifications include the enlargement of the Perimeter Open Space zone. The plan is guided by a policy framework focused on infrastructure modernization, environmental and resource stewardship, and the creation of a more inclusive and welcoming campus environment. The project is compliant with the California Environmental Quality Act, having completed an Environmental Impact Report and adopted a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and a Statement of Overriding Considerations. Administrative requirements included a filing fee of 4,123.50 paid to the State of California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Brian Harrington, Director of Physical and Environmental Planning, serves as the primary project applicant and lead agency contact, while Jeff Philliber manages access to hard copy documentation. The project is categorized under NAICS code 541620 and is located at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California.
