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.

Pacific Park Plaza is a 30-story residential building located in Emeryville, California adjacent to Interstate 80. Standing at 318 feet (97 meters) tall, Pacific Park Plaza is the tallest building in Emeryville, and the tallest in the San Francisco Bay Area outside of San Francisco and Oakland. Pacific Park Plaza was completed in 1984. Its response to the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake has been extensively studied due to its instrumentation.The building's 580 apartments are a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. Residents and homeowners can join the Pacific Park Plaza Homeowners Association. Residents have included Dave Stewart of the Oakland Athletics.

The Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) is a research institute funded by the United States Department of Energy. JBEI is led by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and includes participation from the Sandia National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, as well as UC Berkeley, UC Davis, Iowa State University, and the Carnegie Institute. JBEI is located in Emeryville, California. The goal of The Joint BioEnergy Institute is to develop biofuels, bio-synthesized from lignin derived from corn stover, sorghum and other plant feedstocks (see second generation biofuels) as an alternative to fossil fuels. Additionally, there are efforts to produce bio-based chemicals derived from the deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass to create bio-based polymers and other commodities such as perfumes, dietary supplements as well as other high-end products. The goal is to use these bio-based chemicals to help finance the change in infrastructure from petroleum fuels to biofuels. JBEI functions as an incubator for scientific discovery bringing together the best and brightest researchers from around the country and the globe. Inside JBEI's Emeryville laboratories, five interlocking scientific divisions–Life-cycle, Economics and Agronomy; Feedstocks; Deconstruction; Biofuels and Bioproducts; and Technology–bring the sunlight-to-biofuels/bioproducts pipeline under one roof. JBEI represents a departure from traditional research institutions that specialize in a single field. Here, an inter-disciplinary team of some 160-plus scientists, post doctoral researchers and graduate students combine their expertise and collaborate to develop genetic, biological, computational and robotic technologies to accelerate the process of discovery. JBEI researchers are developing scientific breakthroughs to produce clean, sustainable, carbon-neutral biofuels and bioproducts. An inter-disciplinary team of scientists is using the latest techniques in molecular biology, chemical and genetic engineering to develop new biological systems, processes and technologies to convert biomass to biofuels and bioproducts. In the lab, JBEI researchers are engineering microbes to transform sugars into energy-rich fuels that can directly replace petroleum-derived gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. Advanced biofuels can also be dropped into today's engines and infrastructures with no loss of performance. Harnessing the solar energy in biomass from grasses and other non-edible plants could meet much of the nation's annual transportation energy needs without contributing to global climate change.

Aquatic Park is a public park in Berkeley, California, United States, located just east of the Eastshore Freeway (Interstate 80) between Ashby and University Avenues. The Works Progress Administration created the park in the 1930s simultaneously with the nearby Berkeley Yacht Harbor. Its centerpiece is an artificial mile-long lagoon that was cut off from San Francisco Bay by the creation of a causeway for the Eastshore Highway, during the construction of the approaches to the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, also in the 1930s. The lagoon still communicates with the Bay through culverts under the freeway (one in line with Ashby Avenue, the other in line with Grayson Street). The east shoreline of the lagoon used to be the original shoreline of San Francisco Bay.
