The first physics laboratory in the United States was hosted in South Hall in 1879. It also has been home to the College of Agriculture, a business school, and a temporary museum for the state geological survey. The University Herbarium was housed in South Hall from 1890 till 1897. South Hall currently houses the School of Information (aka the "iSchool," previously the School of Information Management and Systems).

South Hall, built in 1873, is not only the oldest building on campus, but in the UC system as well.

  • This building appears in Mary Poppins; she flies past it with her umbrella.
  • That is not true. The actors for Mary Poppins never left Hollywood. http://www.ischool.berkeley.edu/~bigyale/SH_pix/myths/imagepages/image1.htm
