Plans unveiled for Deaf Trust transformation - The Star
PLANS to redevelop Doncaster Deaf Trust's Leger Way facilities over the next decade have gone on show.
The team from the Trust are encouraging people to view the plans for the first phase of the £9 million project.
Plans includes the motor trade area being transformed into a Deaf Access Centre providing communication classes in British Sign Language and an outreach cafe.
They also involve a motor vehicle body repair centre, Foundation Learning Tier education building, 32-bed residential unit and semi-detached houses for students to develop independent living skills.
Executive principal Alan Robinson said: "We are keen to talk to as many members of the public as possible to engage with them regarding our plans. This is a huge project for the Trust.
"As an internationally renowned establishment we have to continually work to keep up to date with what is needed for people with learning difficulties and disabilities. Our courses have to reflect what is needed in the workplace so that we are providing our students with the skills to enable them to progress in their chosen careers."
Plans being developed for phases two and three could include community sports facilities and an enterprise zone in partnership with local companies.
