Situated at the gateway to Princeton’s new Meadows Campus, this graduate student housing community is both grounded in its pastoral setting and a welcoming extension of main campus. Pivoting wings are arranged to optimize views and minimize impacts on the neighboring state park, while drawing pedestrian flow through paths and portals to the heart of the community.

With a high-performance envelope and building systems, the project is one of the largest Passive House certified projects in the country. Sustainability synergies unite the Meadows Campus development, from rain gardens and green infrastructure to geothermal exchange wells, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, carbon sequestration and low-embodied-carbon materials.
