Pratt, Brooklyn Icon, celebrates 125th anniversary
What do the Scrabble game, the Ford Thunderbird, the Chrysler Building, the Dunkin Donuts logo and the newly-famed Big Bird character have in common?
They were all created by alumni of Pratt Institute, whose main campus is in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, and now has a Manhattan campus as well.
Pratt, known for its emphasis on art, design and architecture, is now celebrating its 125th anniversary. It will kick off its anniversary activities tonight with a fundraiser at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel – designed by Pratt alumnus Lloyd Morgan.
