Plans for the new student housing apartments on the Princeton Theological Seminary’s West Windsor campus will be up for review by the Site Plan Review Advisory Board for the second time on Monday, October 5.
The meeting was originally scheduled for September 14 but had to be rescheduled. Plans for the 65-acre site, located on the west side of Canal Pointe Boulevard, between Emmons Drive and Farber Road, include demolition of 25 two-story buildings with eight apartments each that are currently located on site to make way for three new buildings with 68 units each.
The current site includes the 25 apartment buildings, along with an 8,375-square-foot daycare center and a 6,500-square-foot pool building, as well as several small maintenance buildings. The seminary, which is looking to upgrade its outmoded student housing, wants to replace its housing with three buildings, each with 68 units. The site plan also calls for the Witherspoon building, which has 40 units, to remain on site, bringing the new total of housing units to 244, just four units more than the original site.
The proposal also includes a new 48,000-square-foot Student Resource Center, which would consolidate the services of the existing childcare and indoor pool facility, a 5,100-square-foot maintenance building, a grass athletic field, and a community garden.
