New College West is the sixth residential college at Princeton University. [1] The construction of New College West helped to increase the undergraduate student body population by 10 percent, or 500 students. It aims to be LEED Gold certified. [2] Deborah Berke Partners are the architects of the new buildings. [3] New College West is adjacent to Yeh College, and shares the same dining facility. [2] New College West houses students displaced by the demolition of First College, which is to be replaced with Hobson College in 2026. [4]
The college was originally made possible by a $65 million gift from the Perelman Family Foundation, run by Debra '96 and Ronald Perelman. [5] Prior to the removal of the Perelman name in 2021, it would have been the first residential college at Princeton to be named after Jewish people. [6]
In June 2021, Princeton University removed the Perelman name from New College West after the Perelman Family Foundation ceased payments to the University under their gift agreement. [7]
