IDIA 318 Hospitality Design Studio

In this studio course students will learn to research the special circumstances and needs required by a client for a variety of hospitality design needs. These could include hotel or room and board spaces, restaurant spaces (including food preparation spatial needs), and entertainment spaces. The project for this studio may include lodging with entertainment and/or food service requirements, retirement community facilities, casinos, or similar spaces. This will be a design group project, with each team member being responsible for a given set of design requirements. Principles used in interior design firm team projects will be emphasized. A final juried team presentation will be required.
