ISU Design West is a satellite program of the ISU College of Design aimed at expanding regional education opportunities in the design disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture, urban and regional planning, and interior design.
ISU Design West is headquartered in the Fourth Street Historical District of Sioux City, Iowa, in a studio facility that provides space for ISU design students and faculty to engage in both short-and long-term projects with the community.
Initial course offerings will involve upper-level College of Design students and faculty in projects that address real design issues and engage community members.
An urban extension program will focus on urban design, historic preservation, regional planning and applied research. Public seminars and workshops on a wide range of topics - retail merchandising, public art, design ordinances, zoning alternatives and urban development - will also be scheduled at the ISU Design West studio.
