Our design team at London-based Hawkins\Brown invited young people and parents to join them at their offices for a special workshop. We had an amazing day using creativity and conversation to think about indoor and outdoor spaces. The participants drew on their lived experience of being in hospital or mental health services to help us better understand what would work well in the new children's hospital.

While we were in London, our Press Packer Luke, age 15, interviewed Negar Mihanyar about what it's like to design a unique children's hospital for the East of England. Well done Luke for such great questions!
