Stace is proud to have been working with The Deaf Academy since 2010 in their pursuit to deliver a new world-class deaf education facility.

Since 2010, Stace have advised The Deaf Academy on the development of several sites to deliver leading education and residential care facilities.

Demolition and enabling works were completed before the development of a new Academy building and a separate stand-alone student accommodation building. The building provides teaching facilities for 80 students and accommodation facilities for 50% of its students.

An existing building was stripped out and refurbished to form the Academy’s administration, finance and fundraising departments.

During the design phases, the emphasis was placed on designing a facility that would accommodate those who are deaf or hearing impaired, with an aspiration to provide a flagship Academy and teaching facility, providing a benchmark for future projects of a similar nature.

The relocated Deaf Academy opened its doors to students in September 2020, despite the disruption caused by COVID-19.
