The Interior Design Program at STLCC will be revealing their final project with the Our Little Haven transitional home for children who are victims of extreme abuse and neglect. Our Little Haven selected the program in hope of giving design students a real world project as well as a chance to assist the children at the home.
The group met Scott Hummel, the executive director of Our Little Haven, to discuss the possibility of doing a real-world project.
Interior Design Program Coordinator Erin LeClerc said the experience has given the students an emotional and wonderful experience.
“This has been a wonderful learning experience for the students but also an emotional one as they begin to see how interior design can make a positive impact on the lives of these children. This group of students has a tremendous amount of compassion and they are simply amazing. It has been a wonderful experience for all involved,” LeClerc said.
The group is sponsored by Ryan Bensinger Painting, Steve Nelson Flooring, The Home Depot, Premier Shutters and Blinds, Sherwin Williams, Design and Detail, Interface Flor, Carol House Furniture, Metro Lighting.
