Hazelwood : A school for children and young people, aged 2 to 18, who areblind and deaf – “dual sensory impaired”. <strong>Architect</strong>urally, it is a new type ofproject. Many of the school‟s children are physically handicapped and allhave a degree of cognitive impairment. Together they represent the mostacutely disabled children on the city of Glasgow‟s education role. They willneed lifetime support. I was determined to create a school which wouldsupport the needs of the children and the aspirations of their parents, aplace of safety and ambition that would free the teacher and inspire thechild.Hazelwood School has been a real success. The children and young peoplerespond well to their new environment and appear to be thriving. They aresupported by committed teachers in a bespoke school that their parentslove and take ownership for. The building has received multiple national andinternational awards and I am delighted and humbled by the response to it.
