IDC-Oregon teams up with Local Interior Design Students

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Interior Design Collaborative-Oregon is reaching out to interior design students throughout Oregon about the proposed Commercial Interior Design licensing bill. IDC-Oregon had the opportunity to present to Michele Kremers’ Intro to Interior Design class at Marylhurst University on October 3rd, 2011.


Marylhurst University has a Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) accredited program for Interior Design and supports IDC-Oregon’s effort in pursuing legislation. "Licensing for commercial interior designers is a natural extension of professional design education. Graduates of our program are prepared to creatively solve complex spatial problems while ensuring the safety and welfare of the public," says Nancy Hiss, Interior Design Program Director at Marylhurst.

The presentation informed students of the requirements in the proposed bill and they responded openly to the need for legislation for practicing Commercial Interior Designers. The students also voiced their interest in writing to their legislators to move forward with the Commercial Interior Design Practice Act. Instructor Michele Kremers, who is equally supportive, comments that "The students feel that licensing will validate their hard work and education by creating an industry standard of knowledgeable professionals that will be able to create and specify safe, healthy environments."
IDC-Oregon looks forward to continued collaboration with the Marylhurst Interior Design department and students.
