Universal Design for Learning (UDL) represents a multi-decade effort by educational designers to create more flexible and inclusive experiences for students. Multistudio designers and architects have used the UDL-based Deck of Spaces to facilitate engagement that identifies essential priorities with direct connections to space design on projects like the Mission Bay School in California. The Multistudio team, in collaboration with researchers and educators across the UDL network, developed the UDL Deck of Spaces to facilitate conversations with project stakeholders about how to create more inclusive school environments.
