Brickpile Campus (Oakland)
The building suffered three major natural disasters during its thirty-nine years in Oakland - a fire in 1894, the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, and finally another fire in 1918.
On May 15, 1927 the final graduating class of the Oakland Brickpile held their commencement on the grounds of the new campus in Moraga, California. Classes began in the Fall of 1928 with the largest freshman class in the history of the College.
