The University commissioned Robert Venturi '47 to design the new structure, known as Wu Hall. The resulting design reflects Wu's awkward location, a long narrow site between Wilcox and 1915 Halls, facing the low modern structures of New New Quad to the south and the Collegiate Gothic of Patton and Walker to the north. The curved, apse-like window at the southern end of Wu serves as a bridge between the old campus and the new, while the color of the brick blends with 50s-era 1915 Hall. And Venturi paid careful attention to give Wu Hall touches unique to Princeton -- images of Tigers and other familiar icons of the University.
