Princeton University
Princeton, N.J.
This classic American campus is "straight out of central casting," says
architect Natalie Shivers, who has been guiding the prestige Ivy Leaguer
through an ambitious expansion plan. Princeton's style is pure Collegiate
Gothic; most of it executed in gray stone covered in, yes, ivy. As imposing as
these old stone structures are, the campus keeps life on a "human scale" by
preserving green spaces and "walkability," says Shivers. "Everything on campus
is within a 10-minute walk." Sinuous footpaths, archways, plazas--all are
designed to inspire spontaneous discussion and learning.
