Making Architecture for the Multi Sensory Impaired: Presentation of Three Projects

Hazelwood School in Glasgow is a state school for the teaching of life skills to children and young people with severe and highly complex needs. The Hazelwood school design focuses on creating a safe, stimulating environment for students and staff. Ease of navigation and orientation through the building was critical for the pupils. The building represents a successful conclusion to an intense four-year design, consultation and construction process, involving parents, teachers, clinicians and the children themselves.
