ervice-Learning and Community Service Experiences
Interior Design students enrolled in the senior capstone course apply their knowledge and skills to discipline-based community service projects. Through this experience, students collaborate with regional businesses and organizations to envision unique solutions to an array of aesthetic, spatial planning, historic preservation, and sustainable design problems. Projects are selected to provide students with understanding and knowledge of the diverse cultural and functional needs of an identified population.
