The Centre will provide young people living in poverty with information, training, advice and guidance.

The Stephen Lawrence Centre will also act 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 will help to build a new model for vocational training and business development.

The Stephen Lawrence Centre will house mentoring rooms, flexible education studios, computer learning resources and meeting spaces. It will also offer 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 will regularly host exhibitions, seminars and artist residences exploring best practice in urban design.
