Whitman College at Princeton University, 2007-present, (Princeton, New Jersey), Early 19th Century


The Whitman College at Princeton University was designed by architect Demetri Porphyrios and he describes the building in terms of music. This building is also known as a design that is a revival of a traditional architecture. This residential college is shows a Collegiate Gothic Style. This was a Gothic and traditional that was completed in 2007. Whitman College consists of blocks of bluestone with a limestone trim, and it’s arranged in the shape of an “E”. This 250,000 square foot building ranges from 20 to 100 feet high, depending on the slope of the site, and consists of residential, social and academic buildings. Mark Burnstein, the executive vice president of the university says, “Whitman College is at the center of a pivotal point of the campus. It anchors our new southern edge and strengthens the connection between the historic campus and the property to the west- a gateway to future development.”

Whitman College was broken down into separate buildings, with each building having its own composition and detail, yet somehow each of them compliment the Collegiate Gothic Style of architecture. Although the buildings at Whitman College vary in size and detail, they all speak the same dialogue.
