Design Students Visited the Headquarters of Kimball® Office in Jasper, Indiana
September 12, 2018, WVU School of Interior Design students visited the headquarters of Kimball® Office in Jasper, Indiana. Design students saw first hand Kimball® Corporate Office, their manufacturing processes, quality control and testing procedures. Experiencing Kimball’s culture, a premier office furniture manufacturer of the United States, enlightens the School of Interior Design students and is irreplaceable. Through Omega’s partnership with the WVU School of Interior Design, the trip participants were involved and received exposure to formal speakers, live projects, and complicated processes. This is just another way that Omega Commercial Interiors is giving back to their community.
