Electrical Services , School Design

Since its delivery in 2023, the Grimaldi Building, RNIB's HQ, acts an exemplar of accessibility and a beacon of inclusivity, staying true to the project's overarching goals. As part of their client side role, the design team embedded adjustability in the lighting scheme and functionality to manage visual contrast and best suit the preference profiles of people with varying types of visual impairment and/or sensory differences.
