The Computer Center at Princeton University was first established in 1962 in the Engineering Quadrangle. The initial director was electrical engineering professor Edward McCluskey, who held the position until 1966, when Roald Buhler assumed the directorship. The computer center soon outgrew the space in E-Quad and moved to a newly constructed building at 87 Prospect Ave. Mirroring the upgrade in the facilities was an upgrade in computing equipment, as the original IBM 7090 models in the computer center were replaced with the more advanced IBM 360/91 and later the IBM 370/158, capable of far more complex tasks. As computers became an increasingly common sight on campus and were integrated into student life and academics, the Computer Center continued to expand in size and importance. Today it exists as one service maintained by the Office of Information Technology.
