Crossville Sponsors Design Studio with University of Tennessee A&D Students

Crossville hosted four students from the University of Tennessee College of Architecture and Design at NeoCon 2017. These students earned the trip by creating winning, tile-focused projects as part of Crossville’s sponsorship of a semester-long Design Studio held in partnership with the university. As part of the studio experience, students completed projects in which tile is an essential design element. The studio provided the company an opportunity to educate the next generation of design professionals on the specification of tile products.

“The studio exposed students to tile and challenged them to think and create differently with tile as a surfacing solution,” said Robin Rhea, Crossville’s director of brand marketing. “It’s a great chance to educate future specifiers to tile’s technical and design benefits, and, likewise, we get a better understanding of their perspectives, questions, and needs.”
