New York architects hanrahan Meyers (hMa) have a track record for designing award winning educational buildings.  hMa's Pratt Pavilion, completed in 2007, was recognized for its cutting edge design with a 'New York Designs' award from the Architectural League of New York.  The building is featured in the 2009 Phaidon Atlas of 21st Century World Architecture.  The Juliana Curran Terian Pratt Pavilion is a new 10,000 square foot building on the Pratt Institute Campus in Brooklyn.  The Pavilion ties two previously separate buildings into one entity:  the Pratt Design Center, creating the first Design Center in the United States uniting all Design disciplines (fashion, interior design, graphic design and industrial design) under one roof.
