Below is a list of buildings at UCLA and UC Berkeley that could cause loss of life, according to studies released this week.

There were no buildings ranked as posing a “dangerous” risk to life, which is level 7. Buildings with a “very poor” performance are labeled level 6 and represent a “severe” risk to life. The cost of repairing these structures would be between 40% and 100% of the price to rebuild from scratch.

A level 5 building has a “poor” seismic performance, representing a serious risk to life, and repairs would range from 20% to 50% of the cost to rebuild it.

The names of the structures are as they appeared in the UC studies.


How UC buildings are ranked for earthquake safety. Those labeled levels 5, 6 and 7 need to be retrofitted or torn down, experts say.
