Twenty-five minutes from Manhattan, the Brooklyn campus is home to all undergraduate programs but construction management and associate degree programs.  It houses the following graduate programs: architecture, city and regional planning, architecture and urban design, environmental systems management, art and design education, art history, art therapy, digitral arts, dance therapy, fine arts, industrial design, and interior design.

The Athletic Resource Center provides students with an exercise facility, a large gym for tennis, basketball, and indoor track, and dance studios as well as the opportunity to participate in varsity sports.

Pratt boasts the oldest continuously-operating, privately-owned, steam-powered electrical generating plant in the country. In the East Building you can see the steam turbines along with a collection of other Brooklyn memorabilia and talk with Conrad Milster, Chief Engineer and steam aficionado.You can learn not only about steam-generated electricity but also about all sorts of steam-powered vehicles from mini-trains to giant ocean liners. If you're around on New Year's Eve or Pratt Graduation, you can hear the great whistle blasts from Conrad's collection of steam whistles. Pulling the lever on the whistle from the U.S.S. Normandy and being enveloped in steam is an experience not to be missed. You can try out railroad locomotive whistles, lake and riverboat whistles in addition to the blasts from major ocean liners.

Pratt's Brooklyn Campus Library is located in the neighborhood of Clinton Hill, in a handsome 1896 landmark building with interiors by the Tiffany Glass & Decorating Company.
