Sheffield developments: 10 new buildings in new 'campus' near station

Sheaf Square would finally be built on and new blocks could be constructed along Suffolk, Turner and Fornham streets in what is being called the Sheffield Station Campus.

The images were created by Homes England which, with Sheffield City Council, is seeking a development partner for the multi-million pound plan.

The campus would be home to 900 people and have office and commercial space, a prospectus says.

The artist’s impression shows a new block on the current EMR staff car park on the corner of Turner Street and Suffolk Road.

A second stands behind, on Cross Turner Street, where KT Precision Engineering is now.

A third new building is shown on the plot currently occupied by Co-op funeralcare on Suffolk Road.

Six blocks are shown on the DFS and Europa car dealership plot bounded by Suffolk Road, St Mary’s Road and Fornham Street.

Also shown is a new bridge for walkers and cyclists sweeping over the railway tracks from the station to the amphitheatre on the Park Hill side.

The campus is advertised as having “excellent connectivity” to major cities in the north, as well as to London in under two hours.

A city council investment prospectus states: “The Station Campus is proposed to be developed in a comprehensive manner as a place to both live and work in a way that will deliver a step change in sustainable regeneration at this key gateway location.”
