  • Old Mattresses Get New Life

    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. 

  • Biodigester Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony

    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.

  • Look up: Renovated cupola and roof crown Princeton's Nassau Hall

    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.

  • New Maintenance System at the Solar Field

    No, we're not trying to pull the wool over your eyes - say hello to the newest maintenance system at the Solar field. Ewe might think that this tight-knit crew just gets along on a few blades of grass, but we assure you they have the shear determination to get the job done.

  • Campus Electrical Infrastructure Upgrade Project

    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.

  • Temperature Adjustment

    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.

  • Bainbridge House (158 Nassau St.)

    Bainbridge House, built in 1766 by Job Stockton, is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Princeton, New Jersey.  Important historic events occurred there, including serving as lodging for members of the Continental Congress in 1783, and witnessing the birth of William Bainbridge, a hero of the War of 1812. Owned by Princeton University since 1877, for more than 50 years it served as the hom

  • Campus Year-end Transformations in Time Lapse

    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.
