Course Description
Contract Design as a career is introduced. CAD drawings are printed in paper space and the furniture is inserted using the current version of the Steelcase Symbol Library in the CAD FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS II course. Fire Code Ratings of Interior Finishes and A.D.A. code compliance concerning space planning in commercial buildings is learned and applied in assignments. Accessibility requirements to meet ADA is identified and applied in projects throughout the course. Students build skill in project programming and data analysis that include space planning a workstation typical and functional furniture groupings to meet the accessibility requirements of a commercial space. All furniture and interior finishes are specified to meet codes and have standard test ratings to determine that the product will show a return on investment and improve productivity in the business space.
Prerequisites
All previous Interior Design technical courses have been completed. CAD for Interior Designers II is a course the student needs to be enrolled in during the same Spring Semester as Contract Design.

Academic Integrity
Academic Integrity is submitting one's own work and properly acknowledging the work of others. Cheating, plagiarism, or fabrication constitutes academic dishonesty and is subject to disciplinary action.
According to Webster, to plagiarize is "to steal or pass off the ideas or words of another as one's own….to use created productions without crediting the source….to commit literary theft….to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source."
Kirkwood students are responsible for authenticating any assignment submitted to an instructor. If asked, you must be able to produce proof that the assignment you submitted is actually your own work. Therefore, we recommend that you engage in a verifiable working process on assignments. Keep copies of all drafts of your work, make photocopies of research materials, write summaries of research materials, hang onto Writing Center receipts, keep logs or journals of your work on assignments and papers, learn to save drafts or versions of assignments under individual file names on the computer, diskette, etc.
The inability to authenticate your work, should an instructor request it, is sufficient grounds for failing the assignment.
In addition to requiring a student to authenticate his/her work, Kirkwood Community College instructors may employ various other means of ascertaining authenticity such as engaging in internet searches, creating quizzes based on student work, requiring students to explain their work and/or process orally, etc.
