Would-Be Centennial for Historic, Vanished Newman Hall
---
[...]
A fundraising publication for a building campaign in the 1960s noted "immediate need ... for a new Chapel," and a lecture hall, classrooms, "service area, administrative area, dining area." The old Newman only sat 260 in chapel while, "at each Mass over 400 students must try to get in."
Other rooms were also undersized and "many students do not even come because they know they won’t find room." "The original Newman Hall provides no actual classrooms" and more space was needed beyond the old parish house for the "three full-time priests."
"Now we found that the increased number of students cannot be served adequately in our present facilities," wrote Father Quinan in the appeal, "After many prayers and much deliberation, the decision has been made ... Newman Hall must build."
There was another impetus for new facilities. In the 1950s the University was projecting the acquisition of a large amount of "off-campus" property including the entire block where Newman Hall stood.
The Regents bought the old Beta fraternity house and Cloyne Court (then re-leased it for co-operative housing use) and began negotiating for Newman property that included the Hall, Rectory, and two parking lots, one on the block and one across the street. UC's Long Range Development Plans assigned the block for "Engineering Unit 2," which would follow Unit 1, now Etcheverry Hall.
Newman Hall relocated to the south campus at Dwight and College, where three old Berkeley buildings were torn down with volunteer labor from the Knights of Columbus to provide a site for the current concrete edifice.
Designed by Mario Ciampi--soon also to be the architect of the University Art Museum--the new building was first used on April 2, 1967, with a "folk mass" and 1,000 in attendance. The new Newman also became its own full-fledged parish, carved out of the St. Joseph’s territory. A more than century old local institution, it is still administered by the Paulist Fathers.
The old Newman building apparently didn't last long after University acquisition. One record indicates demolition in March 1968. Several people who lived in Berkeley in the 1960s tell me the building was definitely gone by the end of the decade.
