I enjoyed my classes there but yeesh have to agree with everything you said. Nobody will miss that building.ncbears said:

I have no fond memories of Evans Hall. And while I knew architecture majors and practitioners who would defend Wurster - I never heard any defense of Evans.
I will. Not because of its architecture but because I have such great memories there. I felt smarter in that building just knowing who else was there.Unit2Sucks said:I enjoyed my classes there but yeesh have to agree with everything you said. Nobody will miss that building.ncbears said:

Unbelievably Harvard has (or had, it's been years since I've been there) the exact same type of buildings sprinkled between beautiful, historical buildings. It's like the architects of the 60s smoked too much weed or something.

As an alternative, you might try the former Barrows Hall (now Social Sciences Building).Big C said:
As an alum, one of the worst things about Evans is its location near some of the most beautiful spots/buildings on campus, so when I give a campus tour to out-of-town friends and relatives, there it is, nearly ruining everything.
I do have fond memories of being able to relieve myself in the first floor bathroom, before just about every home football game for thirty year or so. Evans was always there for me!
I may have seen you there while trying to finish my final project for my Fortran for non-CSEE majors class. Still not sure how I finally got it to work.MilleniaBear said:

I still wake at night with nightmares of being trapped in the basement of Evans waiting for my computer cards to feed and my Fortran program to compile. ***sob***
Kroeber was our favored home football game bathroom location.79 Bear said:As an alternative, you might try the former Barrows Hall (now Social Sciences Building).Big C said:

Yep, good ol' Fortran. For me, the class was Engineering 1 (also called CS1, I think) and yeah hanging out down in the basement with a stack of cards was not my idea of fun. Turnaround time was pretty good around 2AM until the last week of the quarter. I also remember Calc lectures in those lecture halls on the lower level.79 Bear said:I may have seen you there while trying to finish my final project for my Fortran for non-CSEE majors class.

that computer was a CDC 6400, was 2 of them for awhile but the one that belonged to the Feds was removed.
What building is uglier?Golden One said:
Evans Hall is certainly not an architectural gem, but it's not the ugliest building on campus. I just don't see how a campus so strapped for money and space can just tear down a 12-story building and leave the space open. And then they're going to shoe horn a new building in the small Dwinelle parking lot? Unbelieveable. It could only happen at Cal, where administrators seem to be totally brain dead.

You're kidding, right? Wurster Hall is by far the ugliest building on campus. Cory Hall and Lewis Hall are not great.concernedparent said:What building is uglier?Golden One said:

I park there for basketball games. Best lot on campus for basketball.Chabbear said:
Glad it will soon be gone. However, Dwinelle lot is where my disabled sister parks for football games.
The Dwinelle lot is very small. I park there for every Cal men's basketball game, so I'm very familiar with it.socaliganbear said:Golden One said:

This plan seems great to me. Glad the larger glade will be connected with mining circle the way it was originally intended. The Dwinelle lot is not particularly small, and they're not relocating all current Evans units to the new building.

Evans Hall is replaced with a pair of new pavilions, restoring the view from the Mining Circle out to Memorial Glade and the Bay. A new oval green is completed on axis with the Campanile.
