The Housing Plan
The Housing Plan
In 2005, Princeton University began to formulate a comprehensive Housing Master Plan to enhance our housing programs for faculty, staff, and graduate students.The plan was developed using guiding principles and following procedures that included a comprehensive set of strategies, analyzing the present and future needs of graduate students, faculty and staff.
Plan Updates
Given the current state of the economy, the Housing Plan, like other components of the Campus Plan, is undergoing a review of its scope and timeline. One recent adjustment is the deferment of the construction of a new development (Dean Mathey II ) on property adjacent to Dean Mathey until after 2017 for Faculty and Staff Housing. Our intention is to deliver a program that remains consistent with the Housing Plan's Guiding Principles. Updates on the status of the Housing Plan components including project scope will continue to be provided on this Web site.
Plan Components
The details of this plan include the full renovation of several housing properties, as well as the construction of new faculty and staff housing. To understand the need for these changes, it is important to evaluate the challenges presented by the University rental property units that exist today, some of which are more than 40 years old and at the end of their useful lives. Another important component of this plan is to sustain adequate capacity for both graduate and faculty and staff housing while maintaining a timeline for construction and renovation.
Details for Residents
The Housing Plan will have a significant impact on many residents, including the vacating of several properties during full renovations. The Housing Department will launch a services package to help those residents who require assistance.
Continuing Dialogue
As we proceed in implementing the housing plan we invite feedback on the plan presented here.
