Yes, Arthur and Toni Rembe Rock Hall is the most visible one there on the right side of the screen. The South Building of the housing complex is just peeking in there on the edge of the photo, but the light brown travertine one with dark brown travertine on the top floor is Rock Hall, a lab building opened in early 2004 and designed by Cesar Pelli.

I actually don't find it all that interesting...it's basically just a stone rectangle, with a slight offset in the middle. Granted, constrictions imposed by the lab space needs limit what you can do, but I like Byers Hall, the glassy one of similar size prominently visible in the next photo, much better, even if the neighbors made UCSF turn off the night lighting on the stacks.
