Children in Labs

In the interests of health and safety, it is the policy of University of California, Berkeley - Bakar Labs to restrict the presence of children in laboratories and other areas that present physical, chemical, biological or other potential health hazards.

In general, children should be prohibited from any areas that may expose them to a potentially hazardous condition including chemical hazards. It is especially important that children avoid hazardous chemical exposures because of their smaller body mass, higher metabolisms, developing immune and neurosystems and a general lack of hazard recognition ability.

Babies and infants are prohibited from labs and research/teaching and support spaces where any hazardous materials are stored or actively used.

Children are prohibited from areas that store or use research and teaching animals, extremely hazardous chemicals, radioisotopes, listed carcinogens or biohazardous agents.



Children in the Offices

If you bring your children to the building, please do your best to ensure they don't disrupt the work of others, and make sure that you---or another member of your company---are supervising them at all times. Please avoid using conference rooms as spaces for your children, as those should remain available for business use.


Remember to submit a guest pass request if you will have anyone visiting you at the building, including family members. We'll have guest name tags for your visitors ready at the front desk at the time of their arrival.
