Description
The Interior Design Program at Georgian College is dedicated to providing our students with a
broad-based proficiency in interior space design and physical space management that will enable
graduates to proceed to productive and rewarding professional careers in interior design. The 3Year Interior Design Diploma is recognized by the Association of Registered Interior Designers of
Ontario (ARIDO). Graduates are eligible to become Intern Members of ARIDO. After the requisite
four years of experience, Interns who successfully complete the NCIDQ (National Council for
Interior Design Qualification) examination achieve Registered Interior Design status in Ontario.
Career opportunities in interior design are in such areas as corporate/office design, residential and
condominium design, historic preservation, retail design, exhibition design, health care design,
civic design, hospitality design, facilities management, project management and CADD
technology. Graduates also work in the fields of theatre and set design, as well as architectural
rendering and presentation.
The course of study develops students' research skills, analytical abilities, and independent
decision-making and communication techniques. These skills are directed towards analysis of
clients’ needs and goals and the synthesis of theoretical, technical, building code and practical
knowledge in the creation of interior environments that enhance the quality of life and protect the
health, safety and well being of the people who utilize the spaces.

The goal of design is to study the relationships of buildings to the people who inhabit them and
create integrated interior environments that support and enhance the well-being, health and life
safety of the people who use them. To this end, students receive a solid foundation in interior
design education. The program seeks to create an awareness of sustainable design practices.
Students study practices in the use of energy and resources to create human habitats that utilize
ecological design principles. The program encourages students to study the rich heritage of design
drawn from various eras and cultures.
The course of study will help students learn to identify, research and creatively solve design
problems to enhance the function and aesthetic quality of an interior environment. Courses stress
the planning and construction of interior environments and the coordination of interior elements.
Problem-solving studio classes involve the understanding and application of building codes, colour,
lighting, interior materials, as well as knowledge of universal and accessible design parameters.
COMPUTER SKILLS DEVELOPMENT:
Students have access to IBM-based CADD Labs with state-of-the-art CADD workstations and
printers for their project work. Computer skills development with current AutoCAD architectural
software is a primary focus every semester. Studies of two-dimensional CADD commands are
directed towards the production of interior construction drawings. Three-dimensional features of
the latest versions of AutoCAD and 3D design software are studied and applied in the third year of
study. Business software including Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint are used in the
production of research, design programming, specification writing, and budgetary documentation.
The final year of the 3-Year Program provides a digital presentation studio using Macintosh-based
software applications, i.e. Adobe Photoshop and illustrator as interior design communications tools.
The curriculum at Georgian College provides a solid technical focus comprised of computerassisted design, manual architectural drafting and building code compliance. Design and building
technology theory, as well as production of interior design contract documents, form an integral
part of the learning process.
Career Opportunities
Graduates of the 2-Year Program may apply the knowledge and skills gained to work in the fields
of residential design, retail design, exhibit design, interior decoration, kitchen and bath design,
department and specialty stores in-house design, and small business design. They will be able to
assist professional interior designers, as well as apply additional construction knowledge to
residential and commercial interior projects.
Graduates of the 3-Year Program will qualify for employment as entry-level interior designers in
interior design firms, architectural firms, government agencies and institutional and corporate
facilities departments. Practice opportunities exist in contract, residential, retail, entertainment,
hospitality, healthcare, exhibit, historic preservation and specialty design. Interior design practice
opportunities in the hospitality sector include restaurant and lounge design, gourmet food shops,
private clubs and all areas of hotel design.
