"Following significant consultation with parents, staff and related professional bodies, Glasgow City Council has invested in a unique school for children with additional support needs related to complex and dual sensory impairment . The new Hazelwood school will be situated in the Dumbreck area of the city within the vicinity of Bellahouston Park and will provide custom built facilities for the children and young people who currently attend Kelvin and Carnbooth schools.

The school has been designed by the award winning architects, Gordon Murray and Alan Dunlop who have worked in close collaboration with the council to achieve this state of the art campus which will provide curricular and life skill facilities form early childhood to adolescence. "It has been designed so that children can be safe and secure while at the same time maximising opportunities for independence " says Alan Dunlop " there is no other school like it in Europe and we can't wait to get started. We have been particularly enthused by the active interest of parents and pupils in the project."

Alan will present the campus design to architects, teachers, academics, voluntary organisations and other professionals at the major international conference "Making Space:Architecture and Design for Young Children" on Thursday 8th December at the Lighthouse, Scotland's Centre for Architecture Design and the City.

The Conference will take pleace on the 8th and 9th of December in Glasgow and Edinburgh and has been organised by Children in Scotland and the Scotttish Executive. It will be chaired by Kirsty Wark and other speakers include Mark Dudek and Benedetta Tagliabue.
