UCUC Outdoor Learning Center
San Diego, CA
This nature based project is a new outdoor learning landscape designed around existing structures Modeled around the Reggio-Emelia approach to education, nature-based play elements are integrated to engage children in learning and play. This creative approach includes a dry stream-bed that doubles for stormwater infiltration with accents such as bronze animals and bridges. Other design features include two age appropriate water features, an art atelier, a sand pit with fossil dig, and two shade sail systems. These site amenities support nature-based play programming and integrate with interior classroom spaces.
