Digital Arts Department Celebrates 25th Anniversary in State-of-the-Art Space

Twenty-five years ago, when Pratt opened a Department of Digital Arts, it was almost impossible to imagine the extent to which technology would change a discipline then known as “computer graphics.” The fledgling department opened in 1987 in the basement of Pratt’s athletic center, the ARC. Over the years, digital arts expanded dramatically in both scope and sophistication. Then, when the new Myrtle Hall opened last year, the Department of Digital Arts moved into a state-of-the-art, custom-designed space on Myrtle Hall’s fourth and fifth floors. Now, a year later, Gateway tours the gleaming new space and looks at how the department is settling in.
