Whitman College in Princeton, New Jersey, United States

February 15, 2011 Category: Education

Designed by Porphyrios Associates, Whitman College is located in Princeton, New Jersey, United States. While many colleges and universities are building cutting edge modern buildings, Princeton is banking on its strong tradition of Collegiate Gothic architecture. While Princeton has built a number of modern buildings, including a Gehry- designed Science Library that is under construction and the recently completed Vinoly-designed Genomics building, the University has made a decided move to build its residential colleges in the Collegiate Gothic style. The latest dormitory building to be rolled out is Whitman College, designed by the London based Porphryios Associates, led by Demetri Porphyrios, a Princeton Alumni.
