Collection Overview

Collection Description & Creator Information

Arrangement

The arrangement of the records at the time of transfer has been retained. Records relating to the same project are generally grouped together by building name or project location. Since many campus structures have been the subject of Office of Physical Planning projects on more than one occasion, they appear multiple times in the folder listing.

The Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library holds many collections which relate to the development of Princeton's grounds and buildings, both from an administrative and a historical perspective. Chief among these are the Department of Facilities Operations and Maintenance Records (AC041), the Department of Grounds and Buildings Technical Correspondence Files (AC035), the Department of Grounds and Buildings Historical Subject Files (AC110), and the Robert Judson Clark Papers (AC208). The Board of Trustees Minutes and Records (AC120) also relate to the topic of campus development, particularly those records generated by the Committee on Grounds and Buildings found in Series 5 Subseries 4.

Additionally, the University Archives holds the Office of Physical Planning's University Chapel Stained Glass Windows Restoration Records (AC231), the Nassau Hall Iconography Collection (AC177), which contains historical depictions of one of Princeton's most recognizable buildings, and the Princeton Artwork Collection, which contains representations of other campus locations.

Finally, the University Land Records (AC028) include maps and surveys of the campus and other land owned by Princeton University, which were not necessarily generated or used by the Office of Physical Planning.
