SUMMARY
4:00 – 5:30pm
Campus Construction Tour
Charlie Tennyson and Ron McCoy
Princeton University is undergoing a major transformation implementing their Princeton University Campus Plan. "A Framework for Development through 2026 and Beyond", the plan encompasses the key elements of continued stewardship and renewal of the central campus, enabling expansion of the undergraduate student body, expanding and enhancing engineering and environmental studies, cultivating community, and creating a lake campus within a sustainability framework to create a powerful sense of identity and an authentic sense of place. The tour will focus on the latest construction and include the new state-of-the-art Stadium Garage with its integrated transit hub, the new soccer stadium across from the garage, the geothermal heating and cooling system being developed to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, the ongoing excavation for the 600,000 square foot Environmental Science + School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, construction of the new Art Museum, and new living facilities for students.
6:00 – 7:00pm
Washington Road Improvements – Creating a More Pedestrian and Bicycle Friendly Environment
Ron McCoy & Steve Esposito
Washington Road is the main thoroughfare through Princeton University, linking US Route 1 to Nassau Street and, more importantly linking the main campus to the Lake Campus currently under development in West Windsor. Princeton University envisions a shared space that can accommodate motor vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians in a safe, sustainable way. Working closely with NJDOT and Mercer County, improvements such as the replacement of the bridge over the Delaware and Raritan Canal, planned for this summer, and the future replacement of the bridge over Carnegie Lake, will be constructed to accommodate this vision. Ron McCoy will discuss the University plans and Steve Esposito will give a quick overview of the accelerated design and construction for the replacement of the Washington Road Bridge over the D&R Canal.
7:30-8:30pm
Princeton University Transportation Services – Implementing Mobility for Everyone
Charlie Tennyson
From the University's Mobility Framework: "Princeton's beautiful and historic campus brings people together to exchange ideas and share their knowledge. However, technology and campus growth impacts how people navigate this space. Walking, horsecarts, wheelchairs, bikes, trains, automobiles, trucks, buses, golf carts, carshare, bikeshare, scooters—Princeton has seen many forms of transportation over the decades.
The guiding principles developed through Princeton's Campus Mobility Framework help the University plan how people move about the campus today and into the future."
Based on 10 principles of mobility focused on the idea that nearly all transportation on campus should be human-powered, the Mobility Framework asks first how pedestrians and bikes navigate campus. Charlie Tennyson will give a presentation on the Mobility Framework, what the University has accomplished and what remains to be done.
