Landscape Architecture Assistant Professor Dr. Sarah Little and a team of Landscape Architecture graduate assistants spent the Spring 2017 semester researching the experiences of children living with autism, mobility limitations, and vision and hearing impairments to understand how to create an inclusive play environment that is seamless and integrated instead of separate and ‘other.’ Dr. Little applied this research to create the design of an accessible nature play and learning area for the MAPS 3 Lower Park. Her design was recently featured in The Oklahoman.
During the Spring 2026 semester, students in Interior Design Studio IV and Graduate Studio IV gained hands-on experience in educational facility design through a semester-long partnership with MA+ Architecture.
