2009 NORRIS DESIGN INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Thank you for your interest in Norris Design's Theory 2 Practice Internship Program.
Norris Design is as vivid and vibrant as the landscapes we envision, and this is your opportunity to become a part of our dynamic team. The Norris Design Theory 2 Practice is a paid internship program where you will gain valuable hands-on experience while working with talented landscape architects and planners. Our internship program allows you to apply classroom theories to the practice of planning and landscape architecture, in addition to working in a fun, creative and professional environment.
As an integral member of the project team, you will have opportunities to work on a full-range of projects including master planning, urban design, corporate site design and environmental planning. You will also actively participate in conceptual designs, team workshops and client meetings, as well as construction observation. The Theory 2 Practice internship program is available to all students returning to school for the Fall 2009 semester.
