New College East (known as Perelman College and Residential College 7 until 2021) is the future seventh residential college at Princeton University. It is scheduled to be opened before September of 2022.[1] The construction of New College East will 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] A sister college, tentatively titled New College West, will also be built adjacent to New College East, and share the same dining facility.[2] New College West will house students displaced by the demolition of First College, which is to be replaced with Hobson College in 2026.[4]
Perelman family donation
The college was originally made possible by a $65 million gift from the Perelman Family Foundation, run by Debra '96 and Ronald Perelman.[5] Prior to the removal of the Perelman name in 2021,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 East after the Perelman Family Foundation ceased payments to the University under their gift agreement.[7]
