With the proportion of classroom occupancies receding, those spaces that cannot be offloaded onto the internet remain — collaborative creative spaces among them. There are nearly 4000 colleges and universities with garment industry programs; nearly 600 in the United States. These institutions include specialized fashion schools, as well as larger universities and colleges that offer fashion programs or courses as part of broader art, design, or business degree programs.
Today we examine the safety and sustainability of the research and collaborative occupancies that enable this industry to train the next generation. It is a cross-cutting topic that draws from many catalogs.
