Interior Design Co-op (Fall 2026)

About SHP At SHP, design is about more than buildings-it's about people. We create places where students learn, communities gather, and organizations thrive. Our work is collaborative by nature, bringing together architects, interior designers, and engineers who care deeply about both design excellence and the human experience. As a co-op, you’ll be part of that team.

You’ll gain hands‑on project experience, learn from mentors who are invested in your growth, and build connections with peers across disciplines. Most importantly, you’ll see how your ideas and contributions make a real impact on the communities we serve. What You’ll Do Support concept development, finishes, and furniture solutions. Build material boards, renderings, and presentation graphics.

Research user needs and strategies that make interiors healthier and more effective. Coordinate drawings and details with architects, engineers, and vendors.
