Place of Safety

Leicester

The Place of Safety is where persons detained under the mental health acts are taken for emergency clinical assessment.

In addition to the obvious need for a high level of security and accessibility, the design provides the building with its own identity; both physically and visually separate from the surrounding Bradgate Unit.

The glazed access corridor introduces light into the middle of the building and the familiar domestic scale offers a supportive environment.
