Interactive Design

Adell McMillan Gallery

Interactive Design Website

INTERACTIVE DESIGN showcases projects student and professional staff executed this past year, and highlights academic and personal projects student staff produced using skills they acquired while working at EMU Marketing.

The small display cases feature: personal and class work done by students; a retrospective of the designers' posters and a slide show of their website collaborations with the programmers; and the fun side of programming, [like colored arcade buttons where viewers can create a digital painting using algorithmic code, a programmer's real-time GPS tracking, and a customized wordle using Google's hourly top search terms displayed on a wall of four monitors].

The 34' wall features the designers' inspiration to completion for three projects, including a slide show and video.

The 17' display case features a visual representation of the 48,481 lines of code written for a customized point of sale, accounting, and inventory management system.

EMU Door and Window Sustainability Project

The replacement and rehabilitation of EMU west side doors and windows is expected to result in significant energy savings for the building, as well as bring our main building entrance doors up to code. This project is an important piece of our continuing sustainability efforts.

While our contractors and EMU Facilities will make every effort to contain dust and keep noise to a minimum, some minor disruptions should be expected throughout the course of construction.

At times, different parts of the building will be temporarily cordoned off and not accessible to building users. We ask you to please be mindful of signs and barriers posted, and remind you that this is done for your safety as well as the safety of construction personnel.
