Recognition and Support of the IOB Design Project

There are many things we have acomplished through this design project some of which is being aproved for continued work as an Undergraduate Research Project. Through this we are continuing to work with the Industries of the Blind on finalizing and fabricating a design for their lobby, stairwell and circulation spaces, conference room, and factory floor spaces. This design will display the history of the IOB as well as displaying the family environment of their company.  Another accomplishment of this project is being featured in the Chancellor's report for 2011-2012 along with being apart of the "Do Something Bigger" campaign.

Spring Independent Project

For the spring 2012 semester Anuj Patel and I ,Kristy Stroud, furthered our work with the Industries of the Blind. We took a few steps back and revisited our past work to create a stronger concept and design direction. Along with working on designing the lobby space we worked with the IOB to create an instillation to display our previous work for the employees and visitors to see. The instillation served as a way to show off our work and gain feedback from the IOB about the design.
