Many of the structures at UCB academic campus have been self rated as having "poor" earthquake performance. Numerous chemical, radiological, and biohazardous materials are present (in relatively small quantities) on campus and on the associated [[Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory]], in the hills above the university.

Further north the fault passes under the lengthwise midline of the football field of [[Memorial Stadium, Berkeley|Memorial Stadium]] at the [[University of California, Berkeley]]. Fault creep since 1923 has offset the walls at the north and south ends 13 inches (1/3 m). There are no plans at this time to replace the stadium in its entirety at a more appropriate location, even though its "'''O'''" shape may possibly be split into two "'''C'''"s. A suitable site for a replacement is available immediately to the east in Wildcat Canyon, although this would require an east-west alignment rather than the traditional north-south orientation. While there is only a small probability of an earthquake on this fault while the stadium is occupied, the results could be deadly.

Seismic improvements are planned to coincide with extensive renovations to the [[American football|football]] players' facilities, spurred by the recent retention of a popular coach as part of his contract negotiations. The detailed nature of the seismic renovations has not yet been made public, but a detailed walk-through of the stadium offers some clues as to possible solutions, found [http://www.geomatrix.com/1906/guidebook/01_HF%20FG7%20Stop%201_Memorial%20Stadium.pdf here] ([[Portable Document Fo(contracted; show full)[[Category:Alameda County, California]]
