UIUC’s MLA empowers designers to restore ecosystems, adapt cities to climate extremes, and center environmental justice. Studios tackle Mississippi River floodplains, post-industrial Great Lakes shorelines, and urban food forests. Students deploy drone-LiDAR for terrain modeling, code geospatial suitability analyses, and co-create designs with tribal nations. Thesis researchers inform FEMA policy, while design-build courses realize pollinator parks on campus.
