Interior Design and Merchandising: Resources |
| |
|
|
Our facilities contain a number of physical resources to enhance our students learning experiences. Such resources include three design labs, a textile lab, resource room, and CAD computer lab. These areas are utilized for both instructional and student work. We also have a specific classroom that is utilized for some of our merchandising classes that specialize in topics dealing with fashion. Students utilize these resources to complete specific class projects and assist in developing their portfolios.

Textile Lab
Textile Analytical Lab is a facility for merchandising students to study textiles through hands-on experiments. While utilizing the lab students are able to learn and practice fiber identification methods. A high-end microscope with digital imaging software allows students to measure fiber and save digital images of these fibers. By handling, observing and collecting different yarns and fabric samples into their swatch book, students will get familiar with different yarn types, fabrication types, finishing and coloration methods applied to fabrics. In addition, the textile sample collections in the lab assist students with their class project needs in other merchandising classes.
