The Berkeley Digital Film Institute was a San Francisco Bay Area film school founded in early 2007.The school was founded and led by Patrick Kriwanek, who previously had been the head of the Academy of Art University's Motion Picture and Video division, for six years. Kriwanek stated that part of the impetus for creating a digital film school was reducing the high cost for students to film in analog, as he had previously witnessed students struggle to complete their film theses due to the cost of film stock. The school underemphasized theory courses and focussed on vocational, practical training.The school was located at the Saul Zaentz Film Center in Berkeley, California; an editing and sound-mixing facility established by Saul Zaentz which also housed multiple film and music production companies.The school opened in 2007, with a 15-week program and a class of twelve. By 2011 the school had switched to offering two programs: a 16-month producing and directing program and the seven-week intensive program, with 32 students.

The Sawtooth Building is a historic 1913 brick and steel industrial structure in Berkeley, California which was built to serve as the West Coast manufacturing headquarters of the Kawneer Manufacturing Co. It gets its name from the saw-tooth roof form of its design. The Sawtooth Building is located at 2547 Eighth Street, between Dwight Way and Parker Street. The building was constructed for the Kawneer Manufacturing Company founder, Swedish born cabinet-maker, architect, inventor, machinist, and businessman Francis John Plym (1869–1940). The aluminum storefront products of the Kawneer Manufacturing Company are considered to have revolutionized storefront design and influenced the appearance of retail and commercial building design around the world. The structure's primary distinguishing features are large clerestory windows built into twenty saw-tooth-shaped roof bays; these stretch the entire width of the building. These are considered early precursors to the glass-curtain designs that dominated later twentieth century office buildings.Additions were made between 1947 and 1950, including an office structure on Dwight Way employing the company's own products from the middle of the twentieth century. It was described as ...one of Berkeley’s most artistic manufacturing plants, which is used as a model for industry in many places.The building was eventually purchased by the Sealy Mattress Co. in 1959; the firm continued operations there up to 1972. The site was then purchased by A.J. Bernard, and divided into 35 smaller spaces for sublease to small industries, craftspeople, artisans, artists, performance spaces and a school.

Established in 1924 as the Berkeley Hebrew Center, it traces its origins to the First Hebrew Congregation of Berkeley, founded in 1909. It was Berkeley's first synagogue and remains its oldest. Lay-led for four decades, it hired its first rabbi, Saul Berman, in 1963.Berman served until 1969, and was succeeded by Yosef Leibowitz, who served for 15 years. During the 1980s and early 1990s Beth Israel was at the vanguard of the baal teshuva movement in Modern Orthodox Judaism.In 1999 the congregation began an $8 million fund-raising campaign to build a new synagogue, a replica of the Przedbórz Synagogue, destroyed in Poland by the Nazis, during the Holocaust in 1942. Difficult economic times restricted fundraising efforts, and instead the congregation completed a more modest structure in 2005. As of 2019, the rabbi was Yonatan Cohen.

Freeman's Park was a baseball park in Emeryville, California. It was the home field of the Oakland Clamdiggers of the California State League during 1899–1902; and the Oakland Oaks of the Pacific Coast League in 1903 and then again during 1907–1912. The venue was established by a developer named William Freeman Jr. by about 1897. His father, British-born William Freeman Sr., was likewise a developer. The ballpark was located within the city limits of Emeryville, between Oakland and Berkeley, located approximately at 37.843°N 122.284°W / 37.843; -122.284. The site was a square plot of land bounded by 59th Street (south, left field); San Pablo Avenue (east, third base); buildings and 61st Street (north, first base); and Fremont Street (west, right field). It was several blocks north of the eventual site of Oaks Park. When the Oakland ball club moved from Idora Park back to a (newly-refurbished) Freeman's Park in 1907, they brought their bleachers with them. The newspaper reporter expressed a hope that the bleachers would get more usage at Freeman's than they did at Idora. The field was also used for amateur baseball, football, and soccer throughout its duration. Its final sporting events (soccer matches) were held in January and February 1915. The venue was eventually demolished and the block was developed into mostly housing with some small businesses.
