Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) – Grimaldi Building
Buro Happold
This article outlines how the new Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) Grimaldi Building was thoughtfully designed with sensory accessibility at its core. Recognising that their previous headquarters were no longer suitable, the RNIB focused on creating a space that addresses key sensory challenges—such as light sensitivity—while ensuring the environment remains calm, clear, and inclusive. The building was developed to meet the needs of a diverse range of users, including neurodivergent individuals and people with visual impairments.
