IDSD 3845 - Sustainable Hospitality Design


Credits: 3

This junior-level studio course introduces students to the physical, psychological, cultural, and social considerations of designing hospitality spaces using collaborative approaches and research methods. Students integrate this knowledge with space planning strategies, brand development, life safety codes and standards; and furniture, finish, and equipment specifications from a design development and presentation perspective. As part of the Sustainable Design Specialization, coursework must be completed using the sustainable knowledge and strategies obtained to date. Upon successful completion of this course, students will have the ability to formulate and communicate a comprehensive design for a hospitality environment based on research integration for human needs.

Prerequisites: ID 2530 - Building Codes + Regulations  and IDSD 2870 - Sustainable Holistic Design  

Notes: (Formerly IDSD 3845 Hospitality Design - Sustainable Design, ID 3860 Hospitality Design - Sustainable Design)
