Princeton, N.J.
Princeton University has selected Los Angeles-based Frederick Fisher and Partners to design a new facility for the Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering, part of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Sited near the Engineering Quadrangle to further the concept of "academic neighborhoods," the three-story facility will foster interdisciplinary research and seek to address the social aspects of advances in computer technology. Housing the Center for Information Technology Policy, faculty and graduate student offices, a 66-seat lecture room, an undergraduate lounge, and computer studios, the building is slated to begin construction in spring 2007 and reach completion in summer 2008.
