Designing for the neurodivergent community necessitates a nuanced approach that recognizes their unique sensory experiences and perspectives. This research project delves into the intersection of the built environment, neurodiverse users, neuroarchitecture, and neuroscience to create spaces that enhance the neurodivergent experience and foster inclusivity on modern academic campuses. Come learn how environments that acknowledge neurodiversity and provide options to be alone together, to retreat, or to socialize are essential for ensuring inclusion and wellbeing for a diverse campus community.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Recognize and articulate the unique environmental triggers that affect neurodiverse individuals in campus spaces, including technology-rich classrooms, common areas, workspaces, and research laboratories.
2. Develop empathy and gain insight into the campus experience from the perspective of neurodivergent individuals.
3. Determine strategies to evolve environmental systems that enhance physical and psychological comfort and wellbeing.
4. Implement integrated planning by involving diverse voices throughout the project process to improve the success and wellbeing of neurodiverse learners.
