Specially Resourced Provision (SRP) resource base for pupils with autism and language impairment providing inclusive primary and secondary specialist facilities. The concept is subtly influenced by Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) toys and objects, providing areas of calming and relaxing learning and play, or sensory rich play and stimulation, all within a familiar context. The accommodation includes learning resource areas (group, therapy and sensory rooms, quiet / calming space, life skills room), staff and administrative rooms and personal care facilities. Considerable emphasis has been placed on designing circulation spaces that enrich the buildings core purpose. External spaces include sensory gardens and external learning/play areas with interactive covered spaces.
