CITRIS at UC Berkeley is located at Sutardja Dai Hall, on the northeast corner of campus. Approximately 141,000 square feet of space houses laboratories for collaborative research, offices, a 149-seat auditorium, conference rooms on each floor, state-of-the-art classrooms, and walkways that connect to the surrounding buildings. Designed as a hub for innovators from different disciplines, the research zones are intermixed with collaborative space to promote interaction among CITRIS-affiliated faculty, students, startup companies, visiting scholars, industrial fellows, and staff from across the four CITRIS campuses.
The construction of the building was made possible in 2009 by generous gifts from UC Berkeley Engineering alumni Weili Dai, Sehat Sutardja, and Pantas Sutardja.
