DESCRIPTION OF WORK UNIT

Founded in 1870, Colorado State University is among the nation’s leading research universities and enrolls approximately 32,000 undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. Located an hour north of the Denver metro area, Fort Collins is a vibrant community of approximately 157,000 residents that offers the convenience of a small town with all the amenities of a large city. Fort Collins is situated on the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains with views of 14,000 foot peaks, and offers access to numerous cultural, recreational, and outdoor opportunities.
One of eight academic units in the College of Health and Human Sciences, the Department of Design and Merchandising offers B.S. degrees in Apparel and Merchandising (AM) and in Interior Architecture and Design (IAD), and an M.S. in Design and Merchandising. Both undergraduate programs are nationally accredited; the AM program became the ‘first-in-the-nation’ program accredited by the Textile and Apparel Program Accreditation Commission in 2019 and the IAD program has been accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation since 1990. The AM and IAD programs also received accreditation from the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) in May 2022 in partnership with the Department of Art and Art History.
The department’s mission is to achieve excellence in education and scholarship through community engagement, industry collaboration, creative exploration, and scientific inquiry. We are committed to advancing and fostering an understanding of socially responsible conceptualization, design, adoption, and evaluation of processes, products, and environments that responsively enhance the human experience. As a research-one (R1), public land-grant university, Colorado State University holds an expectation of scholarship in creative, engaged, scientific work.
The department has 25 faculty as well as administrative professionals and staff who support approximately 700 undergraduate students and 20 graduate students. The department is housed in three buildings: the Nancy Richardson Design Center, which includes the DM main office and features classrooms, computer labs, a design library, and fabrication labs designed to foster innovative teaching and learning; the neighboring Gifford Building, which features classrooms, computer labs, apparel construction labs, an exhibition gallery, a textile library, and textile science labs; and the Avenir Museum of Design and Merchandising, located in the University Center for the Arts. The Avenir Museum is a designated University Center that features exhibition galleries, a textile conservation lab, a classroom, and a library/conference room. The facility also is a repository for 25,000 historically and culturally significant items of dress, textiles, and interior artifacts representing regional, national, and international cultures. The Avenir Museum is under consideration for accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums.
