Moving design forward

The free interior makeover of East Madison Community Center, sponsored by FLOOR360 and Design for a Difference Madison, is moving to the next phase of project planning. Recently, the 38 Madison-area interior design professionals who are volunteering their time and talents on the design team met with stakeholders of East Madison Community Center, including the leadership team and kids who use the spaces. Design team members broke into smaller groups to take responsibility for areas like the entrances, hallways, kitchens, offices, conference rooms, library, storage room, pre-teen room, and teen room. The smaller groups of the design team met in their spaces with their clients to take measurements, hear how the rooms are used, and identified likes, dislikes, needs, and wants. Now the creative design brainstorming begins! For information on getting your event featured in the IB Gallery, email jason@ibmadison.com.)
