Building a Mystery
Construction in front of Little Hall will last at least another month, though it was originally scheduled to be complete by the beginning of the school year, University officials said yesterday.The supply of stone for new walkways for the Dillon Gym parking lot and the Edwards Hall courtyard has not kept pace with campus construction, said Kathleen Milligan, the University's vice president for facilities."During the summer, just the sheer number of projects we were working on at Princeton led to a shortfall in the amount of stone available," she said.Officials involved in the projects were unable to comment on why the University undertook more construction than it could procure the material to complete on time.George Glahn, the project manager handling the construction near Little Hall, said the project could have been completed by now had there been sufficient bluestone, the historic stone that the University uses for outdoor walkways in the older parts of campus.When the University learned it would not have enough stone to complete all the projects on time, Glahn said, priorities had to be set for which project to finish first.
