The top of the Campanile includes a host of historical photos, not to mention viewing the Carillon inside. You could, seriously, go on one of the campus tours, since they do give you a lot of good info., or even do a self-guided tour or take a podcast tour – [Self-guided tours – UC Berkeley Visitor Services](Self-Guided Tours | Visitor Services)

I’d also recommend a prowl around the faculty club – stop there for a drink at lunch or dinner. The bartender there at lunch most days has been there for about 30 days and has some great stories. At the Faculty Club you can look at the cool craftman design of the building by Berkeley architect Bernard Maybeck. The hotel there includes the Tower Room, which is reportedly haunted. Just outside is the Faculty Glade with 4.0 Hill and Pappy’s statue.

Another thought is to visit Memorial Stadium (if open) or hike up to the Big C.

Finally, if you head up behind the Foothill Dorms towards the Lawrence Hall of Science (always an interesting visit in any event), the views along that road are amazing!
