UC Berkeley Student Union: Martin Luther King Jr. Building — Attraction in Berkeley

So today on 11/17/18 the building was closed due to “poor air quality”. Now this makes zero sense(you know because it’s INSIDE) now depending on your location on campus let me remind you that one must walk between 10-25 minutes to get here in that “poor air quality”. Nobody was able to get in as you guys disabled our keys😡 Now remember this building isn’t open air it’s completely closed up with air conditioning heat and filters that remove the smoke to begin with. This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Whoever came up with this idea is almost certainly the same person who supports banning plastic straws in this state. There’s a difference between liberal and absolutely 100% crazy and you guys are crossing that line. Please consider using common sense in the near future.

Beautiful, clean building with a few businesses and seating.

The balcony provides nice views of the plaza below. There are stairs and elevators to get you from level to level.

Most non-students will be visiting for Amazon Hub+, which has tables for opening packages, free samples, and a counter if you need a...
