Kean University to Acquire Michael Graves Residence After Rejection by Princeton
The residence belonging to famed Postmodernist architect Michael Graves will be sold to Kean University, home to the new Michael Graves College for architecture and design, after receiving approval from its board of trustees. Following Graves?s death last year, the architect?s will stipulated that the residence, his studio, another property were to be donated to Princeton University, Graves?s neighbor and longtime employer. But Princeton University felt the buildings would be better served in another capacity and rejected the gift, allowing Kean to step in.
