The Goebel Building

The Goebel Building houses the Interior Design program, Apparel Design and Product Development, and Apparel Merchandising's textile labs. Interior Design provides private studios for upper- and lower-classmen, as well as CAD laboratories with access to the latest architectural and design software, a fully-stocked resource library, and drafting labs. Textile laboratory courses are offered to utilize the latest technology with access to a high-tech body scanner.

Mary Gibbs Jones HSD Building

The Mary Gibbs Jones Human Sciences and Design (HSD) Building, built in 1976, is the main home to the HSD Department. Originally, it was built to serve over 100 students. Today, more than 500 students are enrolled in the six programs located within the department. The first floor of the building houses offices, classrooms, food science labs, and nutrition labs. The second floor houses offices, classrooms, fabric lab, and the apparel production labs.

Parker Design and Technology Center

The Parker Design and Technology Center provides the Apparel Design and Product Development students access to the latest state-of-the-art apparel software, equipment, and technology. Courtesy of the Parker family, Baylor University has the most extensive collection of apparel design, merchandising, and product development software and technology of any university in North America.

Using Illustrator, Photoshop, Vision Fashion Studio, WebPDM, PDS (pattern design software), AccuMark, and several other software applications, students create new styles and communicate a complete vision for a particular product or line. Students are able to design and construct garments using their own original fabric designs that are printed on a new high-end digital fabric printer donated to Baylor by the Parker family.

All of these versatile software tools and equipment located in the Parker Design and Technology Center help to better prepare our graduates to be competitive and valuable employees in today's workforce.

Piper Child Development Center

The Piper Center for Family Studies and Child Development (Piper) serves as a laboratory school at Baylor University in the Robbins College of Health and Human Sciences and is a part of the HSD Department, Division of Child and Family Studies. The Center provides an exemplary learning environment for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, teacher preparation, and child development observation and research.
