A conversation about public/private partnerships and campus development with John Igoe, Google Director of Real Estate, Design and Construction (Northern California), and Robert Hatheway, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Real Estate, UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Google and LBNL, neither one a college or university, are both major developers as well as creators, planners and managers of campuses. Google’s Mountain View campus, a former brownfield site, provides buildings and open spaces that are invigorating and sustainable environments for innovation. LBNL recently selected a site for a second campus. The new campus, in Richmond, California, will support research and collaboration among Laboratory, UC Berkeley and business sector scientists.
