Griffith College Interior Architecture & Design Students Shine in SIG Ireland Collaboration

SIG Ireland Awards Creative Show 24

On the 14th of February, JP Rust, Managing Director of SIG Workplace Ireland welcomed Griffith College's final year BA in Interior Architecture & Design (Level 7) students to their showroom. 

During the visit, the learners, who worked on a multi-disciplinary office project, covered current workplace trends with JP and his colleagues. The visit led to JP being involved in the judging process and subsequent competition relating to the final interior design of their multi-disciplinary office project.

The visit resulted in collaboration with SIG Ireland workplace, and on the 30th of May, our Griffith College lecturers, Ian Tracey and Oisin MacManus, spent a very insightful morning with JP from SIG.
