Moorfields Eye Hospital has been at its City Road location in London for just over 120 years and subject to planning permission will be moving with the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology to a brand new purpose built building near King’s Cross.

The exterior design of the building has now been finalised and the Oriel Project Team behind the development and move to the new building are looking for blind and partially sighted people to help with the design of the interior spaces of the new building such as lighting, colour schemes, acoustics, etc. 

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with Jo Moss Director of Strategy and Business Development from Moorfields and Sunand Prasad Lead Architect on the project from Penoyre Prasad Architects to find out more and how blind and partially sighted people can help to shape the interior design of the new building.
