Kansas State University Celebrates 100 Years of Teaching Interior Design

Kansas State University is celebrating 100 years of teaching interior design at its Department of Interior Architecture & Industrial Design (IAID).

The Made In Manhattan exhibition showcased student work from IAID, featuring 12 projects that were selected by professionals and industry experts.

The exhibition was part of KC Design Week, a series of events designed to bring together designers and students from all areas of the field.

The Made In Manhattan exhibition was a celebration of student work, allowing students to connect with professionals and potential employers in the field.

The department's focus on creating communities and connecting to communities has led to a significant impact on the design industry, with alumni receiving positive feedback from professionals and potential employers.

Department Head Nathan Howe attributes the department's success to the emphasis on empathy, caring, and curiosity in its teaching approach.

Students like Jesus Barragan, a senior in interior design, are benefiting from the department's focus on community engagement and collaboration.

Jesus Barragan's project, "An Office for the Visually Impaired," addressed various disabilities and aimed to create a space that was accessible and inclusive for everyone.

The exhibition was a great opportunity for students to network with professionals and learn from their experiences, as well as for the department to showcase its commitment to community engagement and collaboration.

The Department of Interior Architecture & Industrial Design at Kansas State University is consistently producing high-quality work that is on par with professional designers, according to Department Head Nathan Howe.
