Are you considering a redesign of a mix-use space? In this assignment, you'll have an opportunity to see multiple design proposals created and presented by final year students in the Advanced Diploma Program in Interior Design Technology. At least 15 different teams will redesign and provide a variety of sustainable designs that you can choose from for the interior of your commercial space.

Each student team will present drawings showing all aspects of the new proposed design in poster formats, well as an accompanying research and information booklet.
Project Examples
Based on existing floor plans and a brief list of requirements, 15 teams will work in studio under faculty supervision to develop and present research documents, interior conceptual drawings, plans, elevations, ceiling drawings, and computer models for your multi-use interior environment. You'll benefit from multiple perspectives, helping you re-envision the space.
Multi-use spaces are those that serve a mixed purpose or function. Projects can include, but are not limited to:
- Ground floor of an office or condo building
- Hotel lobby
- Community centre
- Centre for innovation/incubator
As part of the final presentation and proposal, each of the teams can provide:
- Research documentation
- A plan, elevations, reflected ceiling plan and 3D models of the space
- Materials, furniture and lighting ideas
Students will use Revit to create their designs, which can be translated into suitable files for your organization as needed.
Additional company criteria
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
Allow students to conduct 1-2 site visits. If a visit is not possible, adequate photos/plans will need to be provided.
Attend final presentations, which can take place on-site at your organization, in our studio, or remotely.
Be available for a quick phone call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.
Provide a dedicated contact who is available to answer periodic emails or phone calls over the duration of the project to address students' questions.
