EVANS HALL
AKA: Fort Evans, Vertical Basement
Built in: 1971
Home to: Mathematics, Economics
Food: No

The mere mention of Evans rarely elicits a positive feeling. For those with the misfortune of having a classroom or office inside, the building's design worsens the boredom and sheer terror that is Math 1A. Even for those who are lucky enough (oh, and are they a rare and lucky few) to never have any classes held inside the second tallest building on campus, this eyesore at the top of Memorial Glade brings up memories of annual suicides, jokes in the Heuristic Squelch, and blame shifting from architecture students from Wurster. However, this building occupies an important role in UCB history. Not only was it the last building to go up until 1991 (1980 if you count Bechtel Terrace), it was the last building of more than 7 stories to be built at UC Berkeley. Guess enough was enough, eh? In addition, the CS department traces its roots to Evans, as does the computer infrastructure of the entire campus.

There has been much debate over which of the three Big Ugly Concrete Boxes (Evans, Barrows, and Wurster) is the ugliest Berkeley building. While many often say Wurster, which features odd and asymmetrical concrete formations and outgrowths, a quick visit inside each of these buildings will be sufficient proof that Evans wins the contest hands down. The layout of the building is the standard courtyard form, with rooms built around a rectangular hallway. However, there are more rooms where the courtyard should be. This means that the hallway and the interior rooms get no sunlight at all, making all but the basement, ground, first, ninth, and tenth floors feel like a basement.

The Ghosts of Evans Hall
Since its construction, numerous people have committed suicide in and around Evans. Here's a partial list. Please do not add to it.

Kevin Hogue, 1984 - 3:55 PM April 4, 2002. Junior in College of Letters and Sciences. Jumped off northwest corner of 10th floor.

Nicolai Rosen, 1983 - 3:20 PM March 11, 2002. System administrator in math department. Second year Cal student. Suffocated himself with plastic bag in 9th floor office after failing to transfer into Computer Science.

Duane Alan Matthes, 1962 - 9:30 AM April 10, 2000. Political Science graduate, class of 1985 from UC Berkeley. Self employed in financial industry. Jumped from north side conference room on 9th floor.
