CANYON RIM — Begining in August 2016, sensory impaired students in the Salt Lake area will have a new place to attend school.
Earlier this week the Utah Schools for the Deaf and Blind announced construction of a new building located at 1655 E. 3300 South. The 48,000-square-foot building will provide more space to accommodate blind and visually impaired, deaf-blind, and deaf and hard of hearing students and their families in the surrounding area.
The school's site will include sensory gardens and tactile playgrounds intended to engage the students' senses of sight, smell, touch, taste and sound. The parking lot will be expanded and an amphitheater will also be available to students and the community for productions.
