About this episode

The episode discusses the renovation of the UC Berkeley Creekside Center for the Disabled Students Program, focusing on accessible design principles.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Ryan Jang, AIA, Principal, and Cecily Ng, Associate at Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects in San Francisco, California. They discuss the UC Berkeley Creekside Center Renovation for the Disabled Students Program at the University of California, Berkeley, or UC Berkeley. You can see the project here as you listen along. Set within the core of the University of California, Berkeley, the Creekside Center renovation reimagines a modest, well-loved building as a forward-looking home for the Disabled Students’ Program. What was once a fragmented network of dispersed offices is now consolidated into a cohesive, welcoming environment—one that reflects both the scale of the program, serving more than 4,000 students, and the evolving understanding of accessibility as a fundamental design driver rather than a regulatory obligation.
