The new training centre at Botanic Road is a remarkable facility located within the protected Old Printworks building, specifically designed to support visually impaired and blind individuals. This unique centre offers specialized training for navigating all forms of public and private transport, utilizing innovative installations to enhance accessibility. Our interventions were thoughtfully crafted to improve access while ensuring they can be easily removed when no longer needed, preserving the original historic fabric of the building. This project not only respects the architectural heritage but also fills a vital need in the community, providing essential skills and confidence to its users.
A thoughtfully designed training centre that enhances mobility for the visually impaired, preserving the building’s historic charm while fostering independence and confidence.
