This semester, the College of Design has expanded west to 111 Lampe Drive, where industrial design students now have access to renovated classrooms, studios and exhibition halls.
Tsai Lu Liu, professor and department head of Graphic Design and Industrial Design, said the expansion happened in order to provide industrial design students more space for instruction and workshopping after increased demand and student size.
“The College of Design has just grown and we just needed more space, so we were happy when this became available,” Liu said. “Industrial design felt like a very natural fit because this used to be a factory for industrial designers.”
