Deaf people exist in an environment built largely for and by hearing people. The DeafSpace Institute at Gallaudet University was founded to find ways to create spaces that meet the needs of deaf individuals. Its mission is “to serve as a center for the discovery, application and dissemination of knowledge about the essential ways deaf people inhabit space to enhance the quality of life for people of all abilities through design, research, education, and policy,” according to its website.
