The Princeton campus — serene when current seniors were freshmen — has seen a burst over the last several years in construction projects.
East Pyne, for instance, one of the renovation projects due to be finished before fall semester, will be the new home for over a dozen departments and programs. Witherspoon Hall will return to active duty as a dormitory this fall as well.
But the new theme of campus construction is finding new space from within. The open space in front of the Art Museum entrance has been excavated to make way for an extension to the Marquand Art Library, and the East Pyne courtyard was excavated to make space for underground rooms. Whitman College — part of the Wythes plan calling for an increase in size of the student body — will be built near the heart of campus, where the tennis courts are now.
The University is moving outward as well. The Friend Center (finished last year), the genomics institute's Carl Icahn Laboratory (nearly finished), the Poe Field dorm and the new humanities building are filling up the remaining spaces on the fringes of campus.

Senior class jacket abruptly changed following accusations of AI design
Vitus LarrieuFor more than a century, Princeton seniors have donned “beer jackets” to protect their clothes during Reunions and commencement celebrations, typically with elaborate designs chosen by a class-wide contest. Now, with a selection process marred by accusations of generative AI use, the Class of 2026 may have written its own spot in Princeton history.
