Silverado completed the demolition of Tolman Hall on the UC Berkeley campus as part of a 1997 initiative to make the campus safe in case of a significant earthquake. UC Regents approved the removal of the building that was deemed a deficient and obsolete building system incapable of renovation.

The project scope included asbestos abatement and demolition of a 263,000 sq. ft., 5-story poured-in-place concrete structure with a partial basement.
