@Wiata78. Temporary buildings were further up the hill, I believe, closer to East Gate. Funny, I never knew this as "Memorial Glade;" I think we referred to it as the "Doe Library Lawn," or some variant. Unless it refers to the area where Strawberry Creek bends and there are a lot of trees, closer to Moffitt Library? Seems kind of strange to refer to open lawn as a "Glade."

Those temporary building were there when I was there. I remember the Peace and Conflict Studies office was in one of them. Faculty Glade is the OG glade and still my favorite spot anywhere.
For those of us who graduated before they renovated Moffit and changed that whole area, it is quite a different place now compared to when we attended Cal. There was always a space there, but not like the big lawn/glade today. It's better now, in my opinion. The only strange unwanted change is that you can't walk right up the Sproul steps from the lawn. That's just a horrible design flaw in my opinion. My friends and I were the first to our knowledge of doing the Doe Library buildering traverse on the east side of the main entrance. Many hours spent working on that infamously difficult traverse. And I worked in Doe Library, both in the Morrison reading room and Main Library during my time at Cal. To say it is a special place to me is like saying I need air. I met two of my college girlfriends in Doe. It's the beating central heart of the Cal campus to me. Fiat Lux. Fiat Lux. Fiat Lux!
I did the cross-campus trek from the PS1 (since renamed Pimentel Hall) to Hilgard Hall three mornings a week. The only reason I was on time is because it was downhill!
Wish I could be part of it, but mobility issues requires taking the shuttle from BART to the Greek, then a golf cart to Tailgate Town/Memorial Stadium.
