Hi Darren,
Your project sounds really interesting. Please let us know how you get on and if the case studies will be published online - it would be really good to see them!
I looked at this school for my PhD (on inclusive school design) - it might be a good modern example for education. In relation to health the parts on the playground, activity spaces (such as hydrotherapy pool) and maximising daylight are probably the most relevant.

Subject: CASE STUDIES NEEDED - healthy and inclusive places and spaces
Hello all, I am a new subscriber to this discussion list - thanks go to Jane Simpson for pointing me in the right direction!
A bit of background: I trained as an architect and have a PhD in Planning from the University Sheffield where after a break of over 12 years I now teach part-time. I mainly work as a consultant advising on housing, placemaking and community involvement and am a Design Council Cabe BEE and an Academician of the Academy of Urbanism - I am by no means an expert on access! However, I am also the parent of a 8yo daughter with Williams Syndrome so have a personal interest in access and inclusion issues.
In my Cabe capacity I have been tasked with producing some case studies of buildings, spaces and places that are conducive to health and are particularly accessible/inclusive for people with disabilities and it was suggested to me that this may be a good place to get some suggestions of likely candidates......
The projects must be in the UK, as this is where information is lacking online, and have positive outcomes for health/wellbeing/physical activity. We are looking to create a varied range of large to small scale projects potentially covering community led developments, buildings, homes, streets and parks. Health and/or accessibility/inclusion may not have been a key driver at the outset of the project but they should be an outcome - these case studies should in short enable people with various disabilities (and none) o exercise and be healthy. The projects and places covered by the case studies do not need to be new; they can be from any era – and there may well be lessons to learn from environments created in the past.
I just want to wrote-up the best places so that we can spread the word and learn from them. I'd appreciate any suggestions either on here or by emailing me at: [log in to unmask] but my deadline is very tight so ideally over the next couple of days!
