California State University, East Bay, is shutting down its campus in Hayward this weekend to allow crews to demolish the school's former administration building.
Warren Hall, which housed school administration offices and classrooms for about 40 years, is scheduled to be demolished by implosion at about 9 a.m. Saturday.
Because of the demolition, the campus at 25800 Carlos Bee Blvd. is closing to the public at 8:30 p.m. Friday and will reopen at 6 a.m. Monday, school officials said.
Warren Hall, which opened in 1971, was found by a CSU seismic review board to be the most seismically vulnerable building in the CSU system, according to the school.
The building has been empty for about two years, and most of its occupants have been moved to a new Student Services Administration building on the east side of the campus, school officials said.
The school is advising members of the public who wish to witness the implosion to find a public place with a clear view of Warren Hall.
