The lab supports design research in areas including but not limited to: ecotourism, medical tourism, urbanism, building technology, digital fabrication, history and criticism, environmental psychology, virtual architecture, hotel, casino, and resort design through its HD Studios, HD Seminar, electives across the entire campus, and the virtual platform for university, industry, and community partners to collaborate.
2020 HD theses are in, and they include professional assessments from our guest critics! Numerous academics and practitioners worked with each student to inform the design processes throughout the HD Studio. Their comments help to further contextualize the work of the lab…A big “thank you” to our partners throughout the hospitality design community.
