The Stephen Lawrence Centre |
|
The Stephen Lawrence Centre is a place for community learning and social research that is now inspiring and motivating young people to pursue successful careers.
The Centre also acts as a hub where industry, community organisations
and educational institutions can exchange information on the latest
skills and needs in urban design and regeneration. This active
mediation is helping to build a new model for vocational training and
business development.
The Centre houses mentoring rooms, flexible education studios, computer
learning resources and meeting spaces. It also offers business
development suites for young entrepreneurs, as well as a
state-of-the-art creative arts laboratory with multimedia, design and
digital studio facilities. The Centre regularly hosts exhibitions,
seminars and artistic events exploring best practice in urban design.

The new Stephen Lawrence Centre was officially opened by Mayor of
London Ken Livingstone on February 7, 2008, as a laboratory for
developing new methods for supporting young people from disadvantaged
communities, and new best-practice models for national dissemination.
The studios and computer rooms are already buzzing with experimental projects, and there's plenty more to come!
