Princeton University breaks ground on campus expansion in West Windsor, N.J.

Princeton University has broken ground on a campus expansion in West Windsor, N.J. 

The Lake Campus Development will be built on land the university has owned for more than 100 years, the university says in a news release. 

The development center will have a residence hall for more than 600 post-doctoral and graduate students, a parking garage, and a geo-exchange facility to heat and cool structures.

A tennis and racquet center, a softball stadium, playing fields for rugby and recreational sports, and a new cross-country course will be built by 2025.

Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and James Corner Field Operations are the architects.
