Interior Architectural Design

The program emphasizes the processes of designing living, work and indoor environments as integral components of a building system. Instruction is offered in drafting and graphics; principles of lighting, acoustics, furniture, textiles; and applications to office, hotel, factory, restaurant and housing design.

Slated for 2013 completion, the complex will unite the media technology department at Santa Monica College with the headquarters of KCRW. The 3-acre project unfolds around a courtyard, with a mash-up of professional production studios for KCRW and a range of student facilities to provide on-the-job training-among them a newspaper lab, a film studio, and edit bays. Square footage for the new KCRW building and an addition to the college's existing media technology building, also under renovation, totals 65,000 including a screening room that's open to the public. The overall count comes to 213,000 square feet when you factor in a seven-level garage.
