Why SHAC?
Community
If you’re interested in popping the “Berkeley bubble,” SHAC fosters a sense of community by partnering with the surrounding cities and neighborhoods of the Bay Area. We’re constantly working with local municipalities, homeless shelters, nonprofits, and community activists, which allow our students to become more familiar with the specific needs of each community.
Hands-On Experience
Hands-On Experience
There’s something for everyone! Since we handle every aspect of our projects’ creative process, a wide variety of skills are needed. Whether you’re interested in community outreach, architectural renderings, engineering systems design, energy simulations, construction, building certification, or post-occupancy research, we’ve got it covered! Our members get to apply the skills they learn in the classroom to real projects that result in tangible (and beautiful!) products.
