The special school block provides specialist teaching accommodation for children with profound and multiple learning disabilities and autistic spectrum disorders together with life skills spaces and therapy spaces including hydrotherapy pool, light and dark sensory rooms, soft play and nursing/therapy support.
In addition it provides a new hall space, quiet horticultural roof terrace for growing fruit and vegetables and sports roof terrace for games. Block Z also incorporates a passive ventilation chimney system to allow free air flow through the building. A rainwater harvesting system will collect water from the roofs of both of the new buildings which will then be stored and re-used in WC flushing.
