Designing buildings for physically impaired people is a conceptual leap for everyone involved, as building regulations tighten a lot of the concepts from such schemes find their way into general architectural practice.

I am interested by the snippet on Irish-Architecture news about the Dunlop & Murray scheme in Scotland.

Any chance of a few extra images?

Sent a package of drawings to Paul, Diaspora but to be honest the files are huge , it's maybe unlikely that they can be posted direct.

So attached is the page from glasgowarchitecture.com, which has images and a brief history of the project

The 52 kids who will be attending the school have every type of physical and sensory impairment, really and every variation of sight problem.

Thanks for that Alan & Paul,

They are good images and it is a great scheme, unfortunately most architecture for the disabled in Ireland tends to be functional and they like everyone else deserve to be inspired by architecture and the wider built environment.
