Campus Projects

Faculty Housing - One of the unique aspects of the Institute for Advanced Study is its existence as a strongly residential community of scholars, where Faculty and the Members who visit each year live on or very close to campus. In order to sustain this defining characteristic, the Institute plans to build fifteen houses on a site of seven acres of private land owned by the Institute.

Bloomberg Hall Extension - The new extension to Bloomberg Hall, built at the east end of the existing building, houses the Simons Center for Systems Biology, and unites all the components of the School of Natural Sciences in one building.

Fuld Hall Courtyard Renovation - An initiative to provide new landscaping to the courtyard entrance of Fuld Hall has been generously supported by the Leon Levy Foundation and guided by Institute Trustee Shelby White. Noted landscape architect Patrick Chassé has reconfigured the Fuld courtyard to evoke a Georgian-style ornamental garden, adding symmetrical ramps that now frame the main steps in a welcoming and elegant design.

Meadow Renewal - The Institute has begun a process of sowing native grasses and wildflowers and reducing invasive species in its meadows.
