Interior Design: Learning in Action

HomePrograms and CoursesInterior DesignLearning in Action

Learning in action starts in your classroom because your space is a drafting table.

Then there’s the computer lab set up with the specialized design software you need for your projects. Plus, a large plotter printer to output your designs. A materials room to find samples, and a work room where you can create mood boards and models.

You’ll go outside and into the community to visit construction sites and existing buildings. You’ll design spaces for college and external clients. Those spaces have ranged through the Vermilion student pub Spurs to a revamped meeting room

You’ll make a presentation to your client(s). Learn about how it feels if your design isn’t chosen as well as taking the design from paper to completed room, home or retail space.

You’ll combine your imagination and skills in international design competitions. Those competitions are through the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) and Decorators & Designers Association of Canada (DDA).

Field trips will take you to where the trends are starting, and you can see the latest in design. Get ready to visit Toronto in your 2nd year.

You’ll complete your program with a 2-month practicum. More than learning in action, you’ll be using and honing your skills in the industry.

Toronto Field Trip

Every year 2nd year students take on Toronto during the annual Interior Design Show and Design Week.

Real-world projects

Redesigning the interior design program's cutting room began a class project that turned into a competition.

This 2022 project is one of many examples of where interior design technology students have been presented a design challenge that becomes reality on campus.

Learn more about the cutting room challenge and the winning designer.

Since then students have developed concepts for a new donors' wall.

Previous classes have been involved with revamping other campus spots including the student pub, Spurs, and a conference room.
