Princeton University Facilities supports the academic mission of Princeton University by providing the spaces necessary for an immense variety of teaching and research endeavors. To meet these varying needs, sometimes it makes better sense to renovate an existing space rather than build from new. All Facilities departments are involved in renovation, both on- and off-campus, but the majority of the work is undertaken by the Office of Design and Construction or the Office of Real Estate Development. All planning and design is overseen by the Office of the University Architect and guided by the Princeton Campus Plan.
