Ontario College Advanced Diploma in Interior Design Technology

The three-year Interior Design advanced diploma program prepares you for a future in the interior design industry. This program not only helps you become a valuable member of a design team, but also gives you life skills that go well beyond the world of design.

Each semester, your main studio courses teach you how to develop conceptual designs for residential and commercial spaces, how to represent designs in 2D and 3D using a broad range of architectural drawing programs, and how to communicate design intentions using construction drawings. In your project work, you'll incorporate building code, sustainability, accessibility, lighting, textiles, furniture, colour, and ergonomics. Although selection of finishes is part of what we do, this is not a decorating program. At George Brown College, our focus is on people-centred design, and we believe in nurturing creativity through education. While you don't need a portfolio to join us, a strong enthusiasm and passion for design are essential. We'll handle the teaching—you bring the curiosity

Interior design listens, empathizes, learns, creates, excites, and educates. Design is everywhere and affects everyone, and it is part of our everyday shared experiences. Interior design involves the integration of concepts and ideas, light fixtures, materials, textures, furniture, and other elements to create innovative interior spaces that are functional and meet all required codes.
