New research looks at how preschools can be better designed to support neurodivergent children.

Incorporating nature via biophilic design has interested architects and landscape architects for a long time, but its benefits for neurodiversity are not very well-known.
In a new study, students say they want access to indoor and outdoor play spaces at vertical schools. But they don’t want too much noise.
Shade, street furniture, streetscapes – they all matter when it comes to making a footpath appealing.
Conflicts at recess, averaging one every three minutes, greatly disrupt children’s play activities. However, a well-designed school layout can reduce the problem.
As children return to face-to-face learning, schools will need to adopt multiple strategies to overcome their longstanding problem of overcrowding.
