Pacific Southwest Research Station

The Pacific Southwest Research Station came into existence on July 1, 1926, with its headquarters in four rooms in Hilgard Hall, on the campus of the University of California, at Berkeley. It grew into a larger building in Berkeley, and many years later moved several miles to our current location at the US Department of Agriculture site in Albany, California.

Our Albany location has offices for the Station's heaquarters staff and several researchers.
