Grand Avenue Residence (GAR)  Grand Avenue Residence is home to new and continuing graduate students. A joint venture between Pratt Institute and a local developer has resulted in a true apartment-style graduate facility. The building can accommodate 50 students in efficiency apartments (double and single) and private single rooms within two and three-bedroom apartments. A double efficiency is two students sharing a one-room apartment (with kitchen and bath). A single efficiency is one student in a private one-room apartment (with kitchen and bath). A shared single is two or more students, each with their own private bedroom, sharing kitchen, bath and living room. The building is located one block from campus. Each living room is furnished with a sofa, club chair, coffee table, and a kitchen table with chairs. Utilities are included with the exception of phone service. Internet connections and cable tv service are provided. This residence is a 12-month occupancy, and students will be assigned for one year. Different than other assignments, this assignment cannot be cancelled unless a student leaves Pratt Institute. The ability to sublet to other Pratt Institute students, with approval from the Office of Residential Life and Housing, does exist; details are available during the Spring semester.

Willoughby Residence Hall (WRH) Willoughby Residence Hall is a former 17-story apartment co-op, and is the largest residence hall. It accommodates 850 undergraduate men and women. With the exception of one special interest housing community, apartments are single sex, but floors are coed. Rooms vary in size from 9' x 12' to 15' x 18'. In addition to the standard furniture, all apartments have a kitchen table, stove, and refrigerator. Each resident is provided with a bookcase. All students assigned to double, triple, and single spaces will share kitchen and bathroom facilities with other residents of the apartment. The apartments consist of a combination of one to two double or triple rooms as well as private or semi-private single rooms. The number of students residing in a given apartment ranges from two to six students (depending upon the size of the converted apartment - one bedroom, two bedroom or three bedroom).

Willoughby Hall remains open all year. However, residents on certain floors might have to relocate to different floors during the summer months for the purpose of maintenance and upkeep. Most new transfer students are assigned to a Willoughby Hall double or triple room. To accommodate additional graduate students, select double rooms are converted to a semi-private single space. The semi-private space occupies the former living room space of the apartment, is occupied by only one student and shares kitchen and bathroom facilities with other private single rooms in the apartment. The semi-private option is only available to graduate students and on an as-needed basis. Willoughby Hall hosts the upperclass Healthy Choices Community, Quiet Floor, Gender Blind Floor, and Community Service Floor.
