To preserve on-campus space for academic purposes, Princeton is consolidating administrative and support offices in an off-campus facility that supports modern workflow and technology needs. But it wasn’t easy to persuade staff members who coveted their on-campus spaces to relocate. This four-story building includes a cafeteria, a new lobby, a central staircase, office space, collaborative work areas, and plenty of natural daylight.
