We are proud to say over 250 Princeton University mattresses have been diverted from landfill garbage, thanks to a relationship with Renewable Recycling we began last summer. And that number will continue to rise.
Princeton University’s latest sustainable innovation can be found along the edge of campus just behind FitzRandolph Observatory. There, under a white tent, hums a new biodigester that turns food waste into nutrient-rich compost. Since operations began in fall 2018, more than 16 tons of food scraps have been converted into compost.
Step onto campus through FitzRandolph Gate, walk down the stone path and gaze up at Nassau Hall. The iconic cupola atop Princeton University’s oldest building has been made over. See the full story and videos to experience the renovation up close.

The Princeton campus is currently fed electricty from two PSE&G substations - one at Elm Drive and one at Charlton Street. Combined, these two have a capactiy of 30MW. While this is sufficient capacity for today, any significant new building construction will require a new substation to maintain an adequate supply.
To save energy and money, we balance providing a comfortable environment for our community with conservation, minute by minute. Facilities' control center, known as CSCS, controls the temperature of campus buildings and our engineers program temperature changes across campus based on classroom usage, events, normal building hours, break schedules, summer camps, etc.

We captured Facilities year-end activities in two time-lapse videos - setting up over 10,000 chairs in front of Nassau Hall for commencement activities and also in Jadwin Gymnasium, where we supported a number of events over a very busy eight days.
