Our challenge becomes the maintenance of high standard and quality in the effort. The merging of the Interior Design program from the Human Ecology Department in the College of Natural Sciences into the School of Architecture has brought new opportunities to the School and has expanded our commitment to another area. The impact on the School s facilities has not been problematic. However, we are looking forward to the use of additional building space, the acquisition of which will present an opportunity to do a much-needed upgrade to our network infrastructure. A new computer-aided design studio is planned to partially support the investigation of interior design.
New technologies offer new opportunities.
Our Digital Image Collection is continuing to grow. Some of the material we now offer as support materials for courses in the Architecture curriculum may soon be available to the community of users on the World Wide Web. Internet video presentations will eventually extend the influence of the School into new areas. Computer-Aided Design Studios Design studios are the fundamental arenas for education in the School of Architecture. There are seventeen studio spaces in the School that house between twenty and thirty design studio sections each semester.
