OVERVIEW
Completed in 1911 for Benjamin Ide Wheeler, University House is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is the official residence of UC Berkeley's chancellor (though current Chancellor Carol Christ is living at her home near campus) and serves as a campus reception and ceremonial center for events which are hosted by the Chancellor. The two and one-half acre site on which University House sits includes a formal rose garden, greenhouse and cutting garden.
EVENTS
Over 80 events are held at University House each year and range from small lunches to garden receptions for up to 300 guests. The most eminent visitors to campus, including heads of state and foreign dignitaries, are received at University House. The office of External Relations works closely with the Chancellor and her office, as appropriate, in the execution of events at University House.
The University House is not available as a rental venue.
