Community / Keys to new Eric Gray handed over
The building will provide specialist support for adults.
THE KEYS to the new Eric Gray Resource Centre have been handed over ahead of the building opening at the start of the new year.
The newly-dubbed Eric Gray@Seafield will provide a new home for specialist support for adults with learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorders and complex needs.
The £6 million Shetland Islands Council facility at Seafield in Lerwick has been built by DITT and designed by Richard Gibson Architects.
Keys to the building were handed over today (16 November) to two service users.

Journalism comes at a price and because that price is not being paid in today’s rapidly changing media world, most publishers - national and local - struggle financially despite very healthy audience figures.
