Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation

Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for Disabled People (QEF) is a national charity that works to equip disabled people with skills to increase their independence and mobility, and help them into employment. QEF works with people living with physical and learning disabilities or acquired brain injuries to help them gain new skills and increase their independence. We have worked with the charity to create a comprehensive masterplan for the regeneration of their main training college campus in Leatherhead, Surrey.

The campus has developed over a long period, making use of existing buildings of disparate type and condition. The brief required a phased development to respond to funding streams and enable the college to continue operating with minimal disruption.

The first phase of work will deliver a new 48-bed Care and Rehabilitation Centre. The centre will have a fully accessible physiotherapy gym, therapy rooms and recreation, dining and social spaces, all focused around a communal, landscaped quad.
