Now 10 years old, DeafSpace is an architectural approach that springs from the particular ways Deaf people perceive and inhabit space. It has grown from small workshops—in which participants expressed Deaf sensibilities that were well-known but had never been codified—into the key set of principles shaping new buildings and renovation projects on Gallaudet’s campus, helmed by a cross-disciplinary research institute. The principles have relevance beyond campus.

At Gallaudet University, the DeafSpace Project is redesigning buildings based on the ways that deaf people perceive and interact with the world.

The project seeks to build new spaces corresponding to parts of the deaf experience that have long existed, creating areas where deaf people can communicate comfortably and highlight a culture that has long been marginalized.
