Invest in spaces and systems that support the learning experience.
World Makers includes funding to preserve and enhance the extraordinary places we call home, while making our learning and convening spaces more energy-efficient and appealing. This key dimension of the campaign supports student health and well-being, access to tools that help students create and distribute their work, and improvements to quality of life on campus.
Support strategic upgrades to infrastructure that position our students to succeed.
Student Wellness Center
Gifts to the campaign support renovations and enhancements at our new Student Wellness Center. This revitalized space will provide centralized access to a breadth of essential services for students, serving as a home for programs currently distributed across campus, including the Resilience, Wellness, and Well-Being Center, a yoga studio, and the food pantry.
Tools of Practice
Support for World Makers will fund computing systems that enable our entire community to share data and information more efficiently, and give students access to the equipment and technologies shaping the world of tomorrow.
Strategic Infrastructure Upgrades
Infrastructure-upgrade will not only create a more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable environment at Pratt but also bolster our stature and reputation by improving the quality of life on campus and our appeal to prospective families.

A Commitment to Student Wellness
When trustee Anne Edwards visits Pratt’s campus, she makes time to meet with students and learn about both their needs and their accomplishments. Student wellness is a topic that arises frequently during those conversations.
“Because our students are working so hard and juggling multiple responsibilities, it’s critical to provide resources that support their health, well-being, and creativity,” she notes. “That’s why it was an honor to support initiatives like the new Student Wellness Center.”
Anne sees her gift to the renewed center as a manifestation of Pratt’s commitment to students’ long-term success.
“Pratt was founded during the Industrial Revolution to help students apply their creativity in service to society,” she explains. “We’re now in the midst of another transformational era, with emerging technologies like AI changing how we communicate and create. Pratt students and faculty are leading the charge in applying these technologies to make a positive impact. My hope is that the revitalized Student Wellness Center will provide a space that makes it easier for them to stay healthy, focused, and ready to thrive as they navigate their educational journey.”
