Butler College is one of the six residential colleges of Princeton University, housing about 500 freshmen and sophomores, as well as a small number of upperclass Residential College Advisors. It was formerly composed of numerous structures that were demolished in 2007 in order to clear ground for the construction of new dormitories, scheduled for completion by the fall of 2009.
Butler is temporarily a two-year college, though it is set to become a four-year residential college, paired with the two-year Wilson College, upon the completion of this new housing complex. In the meantime, Butler undergraduates who wish to remain in a residential college after their sophomore year are permitted to move into nearby Whitman College, which houses students of all four academic classes.
As of the 2007-2008 academic year, students are housed in three buildings: Cuyler Hall, Class of 1915 Hall, and Emma Bloomberg Hall. Although 1915 and Bloomberg Halls will remain part of Butler after the new dormitories are completed, Cuyler Hall is a dormitory normally used to house upperclassmen, and is being used to house Butler residents only for the duration of the new buildings' construction.
The dining hall of the college is Gordon Wu Hall.
