Most recently, two funded opportunities were embedded into the Ball State University junior interior design studio, IDES 324 Studio 3, in the Fall of 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The first project, funded through the University Design Center, was titled, \u201cRedesign of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcusa.org\">First Presbyterian<\/a> Pre-Kindergarten\u201d. This nonprofit organization focuses on the pre-kindergarten educational experience sans technology while emphasizing, hands-on creative learning and play. The primary goal of this project was to provide the client with a variety of design choices for their pre-kindergarten area. The goals included creating functional, aesthetically pleasing, secure, and cost-effective spaces for the pre-kindergarten. The focal spaces included: the main corridor, all classrooms, restrooms, faculty kitchenette, storage and supply areas, director\u2019s office, and an exterior playground.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple student teams from the interior design studio delivered the following concept drawings and documents for the purpose of obtaining preliminary cost estimates by First Presbyterian Pre-Kindergarten for future renovation and implementation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Floor plans of proposed areas<\/li>\n<li>Furniture plans depicting locations of all movable pieces<\/li>\n<li>Interior elevations of walls receiving a special feature (teacher storage wall, kitchenette, creative wall designs)<\/li>\n<li>Reflected ceiling plans depicting design features, ceiling materials, and location of proposed lighting fixtures<\/li>\n<li>Materials floor plan<\/li>\n<li>Design of custom built-in pieces such as kitchenette, coffee bar, and storage solutions<\/li>\n<li>Selection of materials (floors, walls, and ceiling), light fixtures, furniture, color coordination, and artwork, as deemed necessary by the client<\/li>\n<li>Multiple photo realistic 3-D renderings of key spaces (corridor, classrooms, restrooms, playground, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Digital sample board displaying the proposed materials<\/li>\n<li>Other documents as necessary for execution of the design<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The client selected design ideas from multiple projects for implementation and the designs were combined into one final design proposal. Currently the client is working with a contractor to begin construction in summer 2022.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Sarah Angne Alfaro<\/strong><br \/>\nAssistant Professor of Interior Design<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>View the student&#8217;s project.<\/h4>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"First Presbyterian Pre-Kindergarten | Redesign from Ball State University Interior Design Program\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0WIeWfMDPY4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Immersive learning is a powerful opportunity for students, community partners, and faculty.
