Historical origins, sustainable practices, and innovations are considered and build upon previous knowledge of materials construction, specifications, and codes to provide critical technical knowledge for advanced courses in the Interior Design curriculum.
CODES AND SPECIFICATIONS
(3 CR)
Concentrating on Codes Standards and Testing that pertain to the interior design elements of a building shell, projects feature specifications details that are written in coordination with design, in response to code requirements. Documentation to inform all parties involved in the project execution process, information which cannot and should not be conveyed in drawings, is expected, and all code and specification applications must be appropriate to studio projects. Classwork includes lectures from faculty and guests, reading, exercises, and examinations. INTE3102
LIGHTING

Basics of contemporary topics in lighting design principles, sustainable practices, energy conservation, and lighting science are explored through design and fixtures application. Classwork includes lectures from faculty and guests, reading, research, exercises, and examinations.
INTE3103
DIGITAL PRESENTATION
(3 CR)
Using 2D and 3D digital techniques to inform or analyze space and visually represent those ideas, project work is required to support and enhance presentations and portfolios. Emphasis is placed on contemporary analytic and aesthetic communication. INTE3104

This interdisciplinary course is open to all SODA majors. INTE4200
(3 CR)
CAPSTONE STUDIO
Featuring independent work by students with faculty and mentor coaching, projects emphasize advanced contemporary theory and interrelational concepts among the project teams within the studio and practice. Discovery and consequent project applications result from rigorous research, critiques, exercises, lectures in all phases of design process, regulatory applications, constructability, and the human experience. Ideation is emphasized through research, delineation, representation, and decision making. Strong visual and written communication is emphasized; in-depth precedent, historic studies, user assessment, program, and presentation are included. INTE4202
INTERIOR DESIGN PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO
(3 CR)
Focus on portfolio, self-branding, unique job search strategy, and industry practice is preparation for the interior design professional. Projects include consideration for aesthetics, presentation methods, layout, resume, and job-search strategies. Lectures, discussions, reviews.

Administration Mission Statement To think. To do. To reflect. To unleash your power to shape culture and commerce.
Accreditation and Affiliations CCAD is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) and the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The Interior Design program is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA). CCAD is affiliated with many academic organizations, including the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design (AICAD), the National Association of Foreign Student Affairs, and the New Media Consortium, which has designated the college a New Media Center.
Diversity at CCAD CCAD defines diversity as a collection of differences in human expressions, life experiences, and personal characteristics present among individuals and groups. These elements, in sum and in part, enrich our campus community and the larger world. The dimensions of diversity include, but are not limited to, age, culture, ethnicity, gender identification and presentation, geographical location, language, nationality, physical and cognitive abilities/qualities, political views, race, religion/ spirituality, sexual orientation and preference, and socioeconomic status. This definition informs and guides our curriculum, programs, and conduct as we strive for greater understanding and true celebration of our human community.
Nondiscrimination Statement CCAD admits students of any race, color, gender, religion, national and ethnic origin, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, or age to all the rights and privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, national or ethnic origin, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, or age in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs and other school-administered programs.
Weapons Policy Unless specifically authorized by the college or otherwise authorized by law, pursuant to the Ohio Revised Code, no student, employee or other persons having business with the college shall knowingly possess, have under the person’s control, convey or attempt to convey a deadly handgun or dangerous ordnance, including firearms, explosives, knives, BB guns, paintball guns, martial arts weapons, antiques, or other weapons of any kind, onto CCAD property, including but not limited to CCAD-owned or -leased buildings and parking lots. Nor shall an individual possess a replica of such items that could be reasonably mistaken for any item listed above, except for faculty using replicas in classroom settings in the course of instruction. Violations of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including suspension or termination of employment or educational standing with the college and referral to authorities for prosecution.
