Architecture and Interior Design students had the opportunity to work at regional, national, and international design firms over spring break. These programs places students in these firms for 1-2 weeks to garner professional experience and to contribute to the firms' projects.
The experience of the students varied for each firm, as they could be involved with executing a research assignment, sitting in on staff or client meetings, going on site visits, or assisting with drawings, designs, or model building.
"The spring break program is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for me," said graduate student Sarah Mohr. "I never imagined this would be a possibility for me before coming to graduate school at UK." Sarah worked with designers in New York's Reiser + Umemto on a hub/hotel in Manhattan.
