Delighting faculty and staff who remember the old student center beside Nassau Hall, the University is planning to reopen Chancellor Green in January.
Chancellor Green used to provide students with a place to study, dine and socialize. With a beautiful redbrick exterior, magnificent stained glass and natural surroundings, Chancellor Green offered a refuge to students and visitors.
But it has been shut down for more than three years as the University performed extensive renovations to transform Chancellor Green and East Pyne into the new Andlinger Center for the Humanities.
"Many of the public areas, including the large rotunda, will serve as a study area for upper-level humanities students," Director of Physical Planning John Hlafter '61 said. "Poetry readings, receptions, and lectures will also be held [there]."
The resources available at Chancellor Green have been transferred to Frist Campus Center, which opened in 2000.
The newly restored facility will offer many of the same functions once provided to students, including additional study areas and dining options.
"The upper level will have a large library and several study areas, and the lower level will have a small coffee shop, a small plaza area and a television room. The coffee shop will be run by University dining services," Facilities Construction Manager Robert Kess said.
Though it will remain one of the oldest buildings on campus, it will nevertheless be equipped with the latest technology.
"Chancellor Green and East Pyne will both have wireless Internet access," Kess said. "Chancellor Green will also have state of the art language labs."
The restoration of the building is part of a larger restoration project. East Pyne, located directly next to Chancellor Green, reopened earlier this year and will now be dedicated to the study of romance languages.

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.
