Princeton University, Office of Design & Construction — Boiler house, Princeton, NJ

PROJECT DETAILS
Every part of structure was demolished except for the exterior façade and new construction was placed within the original walls.
Each piece of new steel was “hand” rigged into place because the existing exterior prevented the use of a standard crane.
The interior spaces create an interesting contrast between the existing industrial character of the building and the crisp, modernist aesthetic of the new offices.
