Game Arts Studio completed at Pratt Institute

We recently completed the creation of a Game Arts Studio for Pratt Institute. The project responds to the introduction of a new Game Arts BFA and converted existing academic office space within Myrtle Hall - also designed by Think! - into a dedicated 7,100 sq ft state-of-the-art studio.

The Game Arts program represents Pratt’s recognition of how digital media is affecting the creative arts landscape and responding to what incoming students are gravitating towards. Think! has been instrumental in this critical academic transition, beginning in 2011 with the Digital Arts program, designing an advanced facility (Myrtle Hall) that tripled enrollment in one year, followed by the Department of Film and Video in 2019 and now the Game Arts Studio. Again, enrollment is explosive causing Pratt to plan a doubling of the studio space in the near future.

The Game Arts Studio was conceived as a free-form, deep space environment that is designed to highlight the kinetic video displays and on-screen work of our future video artists.  The space includes access to cutting-edge technology, collaboration pods and communal areas with soft seating to foster a more casual interaction between students.
