Yeh College[2] (provisionally known as New College East until 2022, 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 Yeh College will increase the undergraduate student body population by 10 percent, or 500 students. It aims to be LEED Gold certified.[3] Deborah Berke Partners are the architects of the new buildings.[4] A sister college, tentatively titled New College West, is being built adjacent to Yeh College, and share the same dining facility.[3] New College West will house students displaced by the demolition of First College, which is to be replaced with Hobson College in 2026.[5]
