The Classical Core of UC Berkeley is the heart of the campus community and the center of campus life. It is rich in architectural resources and landscape expression, having developed and evolved over a 150-year period. Responding to this valued historical and environmental context, the landscape guidelines address site planning and landscape components for the Classical Core.

The Landscape Guidelines section includes:
- Landscape Goals
- Use of Guidelines
- Site Planning: which defines the contextual relationship of landscape components with buildings and campus-wide systems
- Landscape Components: which describes the materials and furnishings pallete appropriate for the Classical Core
The landscape guidelines are derived from the values and characteristics of the Classical Core as discerned from the historical assessment and the implementation concepts. They provide direction for the overall composition of elements within a particular landscape setting.
