The Science Library, located on a two acre site on the main campus, is envisioned as an efficient, easily accessible environment conducive to the research requirements of the Princeton University community in the 21st century

In addition to providing classrooms, offices, and public space, the Science Library will house the Biology, Chemistry, Geosciences and Map/GIS print collections, and will provide facilities for the New Media Lab, the Educational Technology Center, and the Princeton Institute for Computational Science and Engineering.
