Princeton Engineering is undergoing major growth.
In addition to welcoming record numbers of undergraduates, the school has significantly grown its faculty and number of graduate students. Princeton is making major investments in interdisciplinary engineering research areas, strengthening ties to industry, and fueling a robust and inclusive innovation ecosystem. Each of these initiatives enable a common goal: Catalyze solutions to humanity’s most pressing problems and prepare new generations of students to do the same.
Supporting this work, three major new buildings are planned or under construction:
“These new buildings are key to our continued ability to do the groundbreaking research needed to solve today’s complex problems, and to educate the next generation of engineers, technologists, and leaders.”

Chemical and Biological Engineering. Omenn-Darling Bioengineering Institute.
These two units will move to a neighborhood near Princeton Stadium and shared with new buildings for environmental sciences.

Schmidt Hall
The historic Guyot Hall will be renovated and expanded to create Eric and Wendy Schmidt Hall as a new home for computer science, the Center for Information Technology Policy, and other centers.
Plans to build new spaces for the departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering are also underway.
