WELCOME TO THE DESIGN CONNECTION

The Design Connection is an informative gateway for students enrolled in the Interior Design Program at Palm Beach Community College. The Design Connection provides students with a link to the professional design community as well as to resources and current events.

We encourage you to become a member of a national design organization or just get involved. Some of these include the AIA Student Chapter, the ASID Student Chapter, the IIDA Student Chapter, , the USGBC Emerging Green Builders (EGB) for students. Check out their websites or ask your Student Chapter board members or our Faculty Advisor to the Board Zenaida Espinosa for more information.
