MID and ID students taking Material and Processes this semester took a trip last week to the Knoll headquarters and factory in East Greenville, Pennsylvania. The students got the chance to tour the LEED certified factory and were able to ask questions of workers who had been assembling various Knoll furniture lines for over twenty years. Michael McAllister, co-instructor of M&P, had been an engineer in product development at Knoll before coming to UArts to participate in the MID program, graduating in 2002.
