2023-2024 Design Excellence Winners

Each summer, fall, and spring, studio and fabrication course instructors nominate up to two projects to participate in the Design Excellence process. Following spring final reviews, the Design Excellence Jury reviews all summer, fall, and spring Design Excellence nominees to select the Design Excellence Winners for the academic year. These student projects represent an exceptional level of accomplishment across our design disciplines and studio levels.
