Our ASID North Florida Chapter has asked for a senior interior design student to volunteer as the student Rep. to the board.  The posistion is to be held by someone who will be in contact with the seven campuses withing our North Florida Chapter on a monthly basis. They will gather all the input from the 7 student chapters and report to the board and attend 6-7 board meetings throughout the year. If you are interested in volunteering for this position please contact Professor Tessa or Professor Stephanie so we can send your information to ASID for consideration. This is a great opportunity for you to get involved with the local chapter and start making contacts! It is also a great title to add to your future resume.


Often times as instructors we feel like proud parents of our interior design students here at the college and we love when we can show off their design work. This year a group of our senior students were invited to redesign the laundry room for the 2011 Jacksonville Symphony Showhouse. The house was a little different in that this year the home was not a new build but a refurbishment of an existing one. Below are pictures of our students and their completed room. I hope you will all take the time to tour it in person, you can click here to learn more about directions, hours and ticket prices.

Its that time a year for the opening of the Jacksonville Symphony Showhouse. This year students from our design program were selected to participate and had the opportunity to design the laundry room of this grand home. I hope you all take the time to support and congratulate your classmates and local designers by touring the home. Below are the tour dates, times and address information.  Tickets can be bought at the door.
