Queen Alexandra College (QAC) students and staff were involved with the Birmingham Sight Loss Council's consultation on the development of the Snow Hill area in Birmingham city centre.
The Birmingham Sight Loss Council hosted a ‘blindfolded walk’ for the developers including an architect from Broadway Malyan and an Engineer from Birmingham City Council. The developers wore simulation specs and were guided around Birmingham with the use of a cane, finding the experience very useful.
It was a wonderful opportunity for the Birmingham Sight Loss Council to be involved in this project and contribute to help shape the new developments.
