The Louisiana Children’s Museum has won an Honor Award for General Design from the American Society of Landscape Architects 2024 Professional Awards! This project is recognized for design and sustainability excellence, social equity, resilience and diversity and inclusion. Louisiana Children's Museum is a new model for children’s museums: a place where children and families in one of the nation’s most underserved regions would have a wealth of ways to explore the artistic, sensory and natural worlds. The site design integrates mature live oaks, the new museum building, and experiential outdoor spaces that demonstrate solutions to some of the challenging issues facing New Orleans and the world, including coastal shoreline loss, water management, food insecurity and climate adaptation. ?
