That was four years ago. Today SCAD partners with dozens of companies, offering students real world learning opportunities. <\/p>\n<p> In one such project&mdash;dubbed Interdisciplinary Collaboration Studios&mdash;students in advertising, architecture, fashion, furniture design, graphic design, marketing management and service design worked with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.benetton.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Benetton<\/a>&rsquo;s interior design department to design a new flagship store. SCAD students participate in about 50 similar projects annually. <\/p>\n<p> &ldquo;Students explored the notion of consumerism and how new paradigms in retail experiences can&nbsp;be created through new store designs, systems and materials that are informed by and reflect the Benetton brand,&rdquo; says Vo. Undertaking marketing research and creating user focus&nbsp;groups to understand the shifts in retail trends and what customers want, the student teams created advertising and media campaigns, and in-store communications,&nbsp;and designed store layout and retail systems. These were then incorporated into the flagship store design to reflect concepts for the future of fashion retailing. <\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" align=\"left\" alt=\"KhoiVo\" height=\"250\" hspace=\"10\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sdg-migration-id.s3.amazonaws.com\/58845-434421-KhoiVo.jpg\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 250px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 250\/250;float: left; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"KhoiVo\" width=\"250\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" align=\"left\" alt=\"KhoiVo\" height=\"250\" hspace=\"10\" src=\"https:\/\/sdg-migration-id.s3.amazonaws.com\/58845-434421-KhoiVo.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"KhoiVo\" width=\"250\" \/><\/noscript> Other completed projects include designing new portable collection centers for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodwill.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Goodwill Industries<\/a>, and creating design proposals for a non-denominational chapel at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.memorialhealth.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Memorial Health University Medical Center<\/a>.
