This programmatically complex building was constructed under the constraints of a very limited budget for a specialised client. It was a major insertion into the existing facilities of the Blind Society and was designed to link and compliment its original buildings. The new building included broadcast-quality sound studios, an audiotape production unit, a reference library, and lending and production facilities for both talking and Braille books.
