Princeton University on Monday began demolishing a former graduate student housing complex known as the Butler Tract, the future site of what is expected to be faculty and staff housing.
The town on Friday issued permits for the school to raze 17 of the some 113 structures on the 33-acre-tract. Further permits will be necessary to take down the rest of the buildings, the town said.
The university has said demolition is expected to take six to eight weeks.
