The delays were due to the complexity of the project and contractual relationships, The Daily Princetonian reported in October 2014. The complex was originally scheduled to be completed in July 2014, but delays pushed the scheduled completion to September, then to December and finally to June. Lakeside is the University’s newest on-campus housing option, and features 329 units, including 74 townhouses and 255 apartments, and is now home to over 700 graduate students. With its proximity to campus and to other graduate student housing, the Lakeside Graduate Housing seeks to cater to graduate students’ housing needs and to strengthen the graduate student community. Andrew Kane, assistant vice president in the Office of the Vice President for University Services, said that Lakeside has now consolidated the student populations of the Butler and Stanworth apartments into one location on campus. Kane explained that when planning for Lakeside began in 2005, the administration sought input from the graduate student body.
