The high-rise buildings of Units 1 (1960), 2 (1960), and 3 (1964) were designed by John Carl Warnecke each unit as first completed in the 1960s had four tall buildings surrounding a courtyard with common facilities, including a ground-level dining area above a mail room, recreation room, and office structure. : 102 University housing and dining facilities Residence Halls : 93 In August 1956, he secured approval from the Board of Regents of a long-range development plan which included the construction of several high-rise residence halls. When Clark Kerr became the first chancellor of UC Berkeley in 1952, he became aware of a tacit understanding under which the university had traditionally refrained from competing against privately operated housing and dining facilities, and that conservative members of the Board of Regents had traditionally regarded university-operated housing as tantamount to "socialism." : 94 To compete against Stanford, the Ivy League, and the Big Ten for the brightest American students, Kerr worked to shift UC Berkeley from the German model to the English model in which universities take responsibility for providing and operating student housing. : 98 Nearly all the student body and some of the faculty had to fend for themselves in seeking space in privately-operated rooming houses in surrounding cities, many of which were in very poor condition. : 93 By the fall of 1954, only 4.8% of UC Berkeley students were housed in university-operated residence halls, while the equivalent number at archrival Stanford University was 36.0%.
Historically, the University of California adhered to the traditions of the great German research universities, and as part of that, largely refrained from providing housing for students for over 80 years after its 1868 founding. 18 Berkeley Student Cooperative (Casa Zimbabwe)
