KSS ARCHITECTS COMPLETES FIRST PHASE OF EXPANSION AT PRINCETON

PRINCETON, N.J. — KSS Architects has completed one aspect of continuing expansion at the Research and Collections Preservation Consortium (ReCAP) at Princeton University. Prior to the expansion, the facility consisted of four 15,000-square-foot refrigerated modules that held 7.5 million library items. The expansion has added a fifth module that increased the total area to 85,000 square feet and total capacity to 10 million items. The expansion included adding 5,000 solar panels to the roofs of both the new and existing modules to control the temperature in the buildings. The ReCAP partners expect the facility to eventually comprise of 11 modules, and KSS is currently designing the next phase of ReCAP, which is known as Module 8.
