Refurbished a day center for people with leaning difficulties in Cambridge.
RDS Carebuild partnered with a respected Cambridge-based charity to convert a former office building into a fully accessible, purpose-built day centre for adults with complex needs. This transformation focused on creating a safe, modern, and empowering environment for individuals with physical and learning disabilities.
The previous facility was outdated, with limited accessibility and a layout that restricted both movement and functionality. Our team reimagined the space from the ground up, delivering a bright, welcoming setting with dedicated rooms for learning, social engagement, and skill development. Each area was carefully designed to foster independence and encourage personal growth for service users.
At the heart of this project was the goal to create an environment that supports dignity, safety, and autonomy. Key accessible features included:

This project is a powerful example of how repurposing commercial buildings into modern care facilities can deliver lasting value. By prioritising inclusive design, fire safety compliance, and user-centred functionality, RDS Carebuild helped create a space that supports not only the daily needs of vulnerable adults but also their long-term development and well-being.
