Research

Research at FIT is unconventional in all the right ways. It’s about finding new and better ways to repair, support, and beautify the world. Here are a few of the innovative projects that have kept our researchers busy lately:

  • Making sustainable clothes from seaweed
  • Designing toys for children on the autism spectrum
  • Using virtual reality to enhance the well-being of hospital patients 

This limited-edition 1929 plate by legendary illustrator Erté titled Love is one of more than 500,000 works on paper housed in Special Collections and College Archives.

The Gladys Marcus Library offers plenty of unexpected treasures. You’ll find inspiration, information, and ideas everywhere you look. 

40% Reduction

In 2001, then-mayor Michael Bloomberg challenged New York City colleges and hospitals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent by 2030. FIT succeeded first, achieving a 40 percent reduction in less than four years. FIT was first again in the next challenge—reducing the college’s carbon footprint by another 55 percent, seven years ahead of schedule.
