IDIA 325 Kitchen & Bath Design Studio II

This course focuses on the in-depth development of kitchen and baths in a residential application. Students learn to evaluate the quality of fixtures and finishes specific for use in the K&B arena, which will include cabinetry (stock and semi-custom), plumbing fixtures, lighting, and surface finishes. In addition, issues related to venting, special electrical needs, and other special considerations for wet location and food preparation spaces will be undertaken. The successful analysis of client needs and expectations will be demonstrated in completion of a premier kitchen design, with accessible alternatives, and the completion of a full universal design compliant bathroom design. This course will include a juried final presentation.
