Lindsworth SEN School

CLIENT: BAM
TOTAL PROJECT VALUE: £9m (FF&E element £350K)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

A special needs residential School for 140 students including 14 full time residential spaces. The students have complex Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Attachment Disorder and Autistic Spectrum Conditions, which impact on their Social, Emotional and Behavioural responses.

THE RAD SCOPE & BRIEF:

To design and coordinate the scheme.

OUR SOLUTION:

We designed the solution with particular consideration to the behavioural issues and the impact on walls floors and furniture. We brought our experience from other behavioural units to the scheme which was much valued.

HOW WE MADE A DIFFERENCE:

• Helped develop the technology curriculum potential beyond the school’s expectations, creating a centre of excellence.
• Brought our knowledge of equipment, safe working zones and supply chain expertise to create the maximum space utilisation with the best solution for the budget.
• Delivered workable ideas on space zoning that enabled the school to exceed all expectations.
• Created a safe but inspiring environment. 
• Advised on safety aspects of furniture and equipment in a difficult behavioural environment. 
• Provided 3D walkthroughs that all parties could simply review in their own workplace. 
• Offered ways of using the process as a design study for students.
