The Pratt Sustainability Center serves as a physical and virtual hub for Pratt’s commitment to educating environmentally and socially responsible citizens. The Center’s core mission is to coordinate and develop resources to further integrate sustainability into the academic experience of all Pratt students.
Pratt is dedicated to the education of the next generation of leaders in sustainable practices. This will serve as a resource for both faculty and students who are dedicated to incorporating sustainability into their practice and curriculum.
There are lectures and presentations taking place in classrooms, studios, and lecture halls across the Institute. These events are dedicated to informing the Pratt community about all things sustainability. These include the bi-annual Pratt Earth Action Week, which takes place in the Fall and Spring of each academic year.
Leaders across Pratt continue to create and support initiatives that are a model for our local and academic community. The Pratt community, through academic and institutional initiatives, is striving to build new models and systems of sustainable design, production, and operation.
The Pratt community constantly explores new ideas, forms, processes, and procedures as part of their creative production. This work is leading to exciting new solutions that address the challenges that our global community is currently facing.
Research is actively taking place across the Institute. Faculty, staff, and students are all engaged in the ongoing inquiry into an array of topics around sustainability. This research ranges from academic studies to applied design solutions that tackle real-world problems.
