Designing a school for children with sensory impairment
Hazelwood School in Glasgow was designed by two architects who had never before designed a school. This was not a mainstream school but a school for pupils aged 2 to 19 years, with sensory impairments. The architects talk us through their responsibilities as designers, how they approached this project and what the key design decisions were along the way. Monica McGeever, head teacher of Hazelwood School, offers an insight into the needs of the children at the school and how the final design addressed those needs.
