Marcus Autism Center Oldcastle Trail
DeKalb County, Georgia
Marcus Autism Center is a not-for-profit organization that treats more than 5,500 children with autism and related disorders each year. Their main campus facility is sited on a beautiful tract of mature woods located in the center of Metropolitan Atlanta. Breedlove Land Planning donated site design, permitting and construction administration services to help the campus build a fully accessible outdoor trail and learning center for children. The program included protection of existing habitat, design of outdoor classroom areas, wayfinding signage, pervious and impervious hardscape plazas, a granite fines trail network, modular block retaining walls, a pollinator garden and entry kiosk. We are extremely proud of our involvement with the Marcus Autism Center and chance to help children experience and explore their natural environment.
