Princeton University Exhibits Master Campus Plan at PDS’ Anne Reid ’72 Art Gallery Exhibit

Princeton – Princeton Day School invites the community to look ahead into the next decade and beyond at Campus Themes: The Architecture of Princeton University, the newest exhibit at the Anne Reid ’72 Art Gallery. The public is invited to attend the official gallery opening on Thursday, January 20^th from 5:30-7 p.m. At 6 p.m. during the reception, University Architect Ron McCoy, FAIA, who created the exhibition, will give a brief gallery talk about the plans, which hold significant value to the Princeton campus and the wider community.

The exhibition will feature architectural drawings and renderings from the earliest, pre-revolutionary days through today, and will include photographs, architectural models, and even rare campus videos to illustrate the many dimensions of planning a campus.  Campus initiatives in landscape, public art, and sustainability are some of the other complexities represented in the exhibit.

Campus Themes: The Architecture of Princeton University, which runs from January 11-February 4, 2011, is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday when school is in session, and by appointment on weekends. For an appointment, please call (609) 924-6700 or visit www.pds.org.

The Anne Reid ’72 Art Gallery is part of the Princeton Day School arts wing dedicated to photography, ceramics, architecture and dance, as well as woodworking, set-building and performance art spaces.
