Located at 2400 Ridge Road in Berkeley, the Hewlett Building is a local landmark and the flagship of GTU, originally designed by renowned architect Louis Kahn. The redesigned Hewlett Building stands as a testament to GTU's commitment to academic excellence and community engagement. Its architectural significance, combined with its rich history, makes it a place of profound importance to the GTU community and the Berkeley area.
We hope to see you there!
