The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant to Pace University under the Promotion of the Humanities Challenge Grants program (CFDA 45.130). The grant will support and showcase the humanities at Pace University's flagship building in Lower Manhattan. Key products and services to be delivered include:

• Establishing a Storytelling Studio to serve as an updated seminar room for humanities courses, featuring discussion, collaborative student projects, and community engagement.
• Creating a Makerspace and Humanities Lab to enable students to explore and present ideas through bookmaking, printing, and other forms of fabrication, including housing the university's Pace Zine Library.
• Developing a Multimedia Screening Room to provide access to archival materials from the history of film and television.

These new spaces and capabilities are intended to advance student participation and community collaboration in the production of knowledge about "the American Tapestry" in Lower Manhattan and beyond. The 5-year project period runs from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2029.
