The list of designers engaged by Pratt included some of the most notable 19th-century architects of the day, including Lamb and Rich, and McKim, Mead, and White. The buildings represent significant examples of late 19th and 20th century Romanesque Revival, Renaissance Revival, and neo-Romanesque architecture. With grant support of $175,000, Pratt will create a Historic Preservation Master Plan to guide campus preservation efforts. 

Bronx Community College, New York, 2004
Designed in 1892–96 by McKim, Mead & White, the Bronx Community College historic campus is one of the triumphs of late 19th-century American architecture.

The Getty has given $228,000, the largest Campus Heritage Grant of 2004, to the City University of New York (CUNY) for historic research, structural analysis, materials testing, and cost estimation leading to a conservation master plan for these important buildings.

Barnard College, New York, 2003
Barnard College's early buildings are part of the history of the college's transformation from a tiny women's college adjunct to Columbia University into one of the most prominent women's colleges in the nation. The core buildings at Barnard house many exquisite interiors—the original library in Milbank Hall, for example, features a Tiffany glass fireplace mantel. A Getty grant of $220,000 has been used to plan the preservation and restoration of Barnard's four buildings constructed between 1897 and 1924.

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, 2003
Fires destroyed the campus of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the oldest engineering school in the United States, in 1904.

Columbia University, New York, 2002
Windows are a vital, but expensive, component of architectural preservation. The historic windows of Columbia University's Beaux-Arts buildings, some of which are over a century old, are in need of repair.
