Princeton May Limit Allowed Uses For Princeton University's Butler Tract Graduate Housing Complex

Princeton, NJ -- Princeton Council could consider an ordinance this fall to change the way Princeton University’s Butler tract graduate housing complex is zoned, the Princeton Packet reports.

At this time, Princeton University can put whatever it wants that can be considered an educational use there, but the possible ordinance would limit that to residential use, according to the report.

Residents in the area have asked that Nassau Hall be limited in what it is permitted to build, and the university has said it intends to redevelop the property for residences anyway.

The complex was built in 1947 as temporary housing for returning military personnel, according to the university’s website.

The complex has been upgraded over the years, and as of last year, was being used completely for student housing.

The Lakeside Graduate Housing Complex eliminated the need for the Butler Tract Housing Complex, which has led the university to reconsider its use for the complex.
