Research Centers

The College of Design encourages faculty and students to engage in problem-focused research and outreach that has regional, national, and international significance. Research and Outreach establishes professional learning communities of scholars in centers, laboratories, consortiums, museums, and institutes. Such learning communities focus on innovative solutions to design problems relating to architecture, apparel design, interior design, graphic design, housing, landscape architecture, and merchandising, and make up-to-date knowledge available in the classroom.
