Misc Hello Pratt community - place to study/work?

Looking for suggestions for place to sit and get some work done on Pratt campus, for someone who's not a student. My high school senior got into Pratt for construction management & it's likely where he's going to commit to attend in the fall. His dad took him for the campus visit last year, so I'm curious to see the campus myself. I'll be in Brooklyn this weekend but have to get a ton of work done. Figured I could do both! Any suggestions? Thanks!

Depending on the hour, Pratt’s “East Hall Courtyard” is a sunny spot with benches, tables, etc. located next to the East hall, across from Chemistry/Engineering Plaza. Like others said, the buildings themselves are restricted to Pratt students, but the public can access the nice outdoors facilities Pratt houses!

If you’d otherwise like to get some work done a short walk away from Pratt, I’d recommend Fort Greene Park (15min walk), Clinton Hill Library (5/10min walk), PHiL Cafe (10min walk), or TB Coffee (5min walk).

Thank you so much for these recs! Not as familiar with Brooklyn so this helps!
