Campus Impacts Map

  • The Time is Now

    Princeton University will undergo one of the most extensive building programs in its history over the next decade — adding some 3 million square feet in new construction to house more students, expand research facilities, and replace aging buildings and infrastructure. Construction on this scale could pose enormous sustainability challenges. Princeton, however, is embracing it as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to lay the foundation needed to achieve “net-zero” greenhouse gas emissions before mid-century.   

  • What is Geo-Exchange?

    As part of Princeton University's goal to achieve climate neutrality by 2046, we are advancing our use of geo-exchange technology. Investing in geo-exchange projects, with enough capacity to serve the entire campus, will enable Princeton to phase out nonrenewable energy sources, including natural gas burned today to produce steam heat. Check out our new What is Geo-Exchange? flyer to understand how geo-exchange works, how we are not installing geothermal wells, and how our infrastructure projects work together to advance geo-exchange technology across campus.

  • Lake Campus

    The West Windsor Lake Campus will be a lively community with space to support academic partnerships, graduate student housing, varsity athletics, recreational uses, and parking. The Lake Campus will provide a place that is experienced as a natural, yet distinctive extension of the existing campus. 

  • Princeton Receives NJ Recycling Award

    “The University’s recycling achievements have been the result of the collaborative planning and hard work of the Building Services and Office of Sustainability teams,” said Seward. “I thank them all for their labor and striving to improve the environment for our future generations. I am honored to accept this award on behalf of the University.

  • ES + SEAS

    Princeton University will build a new home for Environmental Studies and the School of Engineering and Applied Science on Ivy Lane across from Lewis Library, Payton Hall, and Princeton Stadium.

  • Solar Expansion Project

    Princeton University will be adding eight new solar projects on campus, including four projects over parking on Princeton's main campus, two projects on University properties located on the Lake Campus in West Windsor adjacent to Route 1, and two projects at the Forrestal Campus in Plainsboro.

  • New COVID signs for the University

    In Spring 2020 a campus-wide COVID signage working group was tasked with developing clear COVID signs to support and share the University's evolving COVID-19 policies. The working group partnered with Applied Wayfinding, a London-based company that specializes in dealing with complex information, to develop signs to clearly and effectively share our COVID policies. The new suite of Princeton University COVID signs provide safety information using colorful graphics and icons developed around 4 types of signs.

  • New Records Management Process

    The University's records storage process received an upgrade. All records-related requests (storage/retrieval/destruction) can now be handled directly with Princeton University Records Management.
