I took these photographs of my school’s campus as part of my job in the Art History office. We’re currently in the process of updating our website and the chair decided it might be nice to spruce it up with some photographs of the classrooms and the campus. The department’s flickr is currently on lockdown because we exceeded our bandwidth limit, so I figured I would just post the images here. I think they really capture the magic of Pratt’s campus.

When I started touring schools during the winter of 2005, I had no idea of where I wanted to go. When I visited Pratt, though, I knew just by looking at its campus that this was the place for me and I could pretty much burn my applications to all other schools. The grounds featured not only the largest sculpture garden in the entire city, but a beautiful colonnade of sycamore trees and some truly impressive buildings. The interior of the library was designed by the Tiffany Glass Company. Throw in the industrial architecture of the main school buildings and you had a pretty irresistible combination. This is one of the reasons that I’m not completely upset about the mountain of debt I will be in when I get out of school.
