Senior Project
My objective was to design a new playground that responds to the different learning styles of children at University Heights (UH), including students with special learning needs. My first step was to research various types of surfaces and play equipment for the new playground. I was particularly interested in finding non-conventional play equipment that would encourage social activity, promote safety, and increase a child’s motor skills during recess. From this process I selected the Imagination Playground system, a series of blue foam blocks that allow children to customize their own playscape. I also drafted site plans to articulate my playground proposal in a visual manner, and created a survey to find out whether my ideas would earn public support. Finally, I co-authored a successful grant application to build the playground at UH. Construction of the playground finished in 2015.
