East Park has provided education and supported accommodation services to children and young people with additional support needs, including autism, since 1874.

The new projects will provide additional residential, studio respite accommodation and classrooms and be submitted for planning approval in February. Construction is programmed to start on site in June 2014.

The design is refined with the plan and section uncluttered and the detailing pared to create an empathetic and supportive environment for children and young people with special needs, their teachers and carers. Service and vehicle access to the existing campus has been reworked to provide a clear separation of the existing car parking and service routes from the school and residential environment, to improve safety and ease of movement throughout.

The new residential and studio respite accommodation at the east end of the East Park campus will help enclose a “Town Square” and establish a distinctive identity and secure pedestrian entrance from Maryhill Road.

“It’s a challenging and ambitious project” says Dunlop. By focussing on international standards of best practice, my clients intend to create a centre of excellence for the teaching and residential care of children and young people with acute needs; encourage free movement and creating a sense of independence while ensuring a safe and secure learning and living space. The placing of class rooms to the north of the existing garden has opened up the possibility of a south facing, secure and pleasurable environment for pupils and teachers with easy access to green space”

Circulation and access continues from the exiting school plan. Both the new class rooms and studio accommodation are single storey, which makes access easier and means of escape much less challenging.
