The Prout Research Institute develops practical projects and policies, raises consciousness, and trains people in the holistic model of the Progressive Utilization Theory. Construction began in 2021 and the building will have two offices, a large meeting hall, and an upstairs yoga and meditation hall for a total of 2500 square feet plus an unfinished basement. South facing, its rooftop solar panels will provide electricity. In the future, additional guest rooms and bathrooms will be added in the basement and as part of an added wing. The estimated cost will be $500,000.

The PRI site is on the Neohumanist College of Asheville campus and in the middle of a vibrant supportive community based on Prout principles. It is adjacent to the Prama Institute, the Prama Wellness CenterMountain Breeze Preschool, the Women’s Welfare and Development Foundation Lotus House, and individual homes of 20 adults and 7 children.
