Our Four Pillars

The Design Commons Collective was built on a foundation of four key areas to provide students with an immersive and collaborative environment to grow and learn.

Design
Studies

Learn human-centered design principles through curriculum that compliments your major or builds toward a design minor.

Design in
Research

Leverage design-thinking in real-world application within funded, BC research projects around the globe.

Design
Experience

Get involved with like-minded, design-curious individuals through extra-curricular events, speakers and competitions.

Design
Facilities

Utilize our 3-floor maker space, prototyping tools and software to bring your ideas to life.

Creating Sustainable
Futures by Design

Over the course of six weeks, students from a variety of academic disciplines traveled abroad to Copenhagen for Sustainable Futures by Design, at study-abroad design experience sponsored by the Design Commons Collective.
