Detailed information

Princeton University: modern campus life

Founded in 1746, Princeton University is the fourth oldest college in the USA and counts numerous important personalities among its former members. The 32 Nobel Prize winners among the faculty and staff emphasise the university's outstanding academic quality. Student life takes place in seven residential colleges, which have included the modern New College West (NCW) since 2022. This hall of residence consists of four interconnected towers that offer numerous residential and communal areas. A generous glass façade, into which an innovative RAICO system is integrated, creates an inviting and light-flooded atmosphere.
