About IA Collaborative

IA Collaborative’s mission is to provide an environment for interior architecture students at the University of Tennessee to benefit from professional development and an exchange of knowledge and support.

IA Collaborative will act as an extension of each student cohort to build community and support among them. We will seek to provide resources to members as well as the outside community to make a positive impact in the design community.

The IA Collaborative: IIDA+ASID Student Chapter at UTK is comprised of student members of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) and/or the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID); therefore, we support the missions and visions of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) and the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID).
