Three new buildings off Howard Street are up and running and ready to welcome Hallam University students this week.
The £140m City Campus features three blocks - Redmires, Strines and Langsett - which sit between Hallam landmarks the Owen Building and the students’ union, formerly the National Centre for Popular Music.
University chiefs said they would provide “outstanding” facilities for students and staff and “deliver significant regeneration of a key gateway to the city centre.”
The development includes new homes for Sheffield Business School, the Institute of Law and Justice, Institute of Social Sciences and the Architecture subject group from the Institute of Creative Industries., university chiefs said.
Here’s a gallery of photos exploring the new development.
Sheffield Hallam University vice-chancellor, professor Liz Mossop, said: “We are delighted to be
welcoming new and returning students to Sheffield Hallam who will be able to use our world-class
new facilities for the first time.
“The new buildings provide state-of-the-art spaces for modern teaching and learning, as well as
socialising and relaxing between studies. It is fantastic to see them so vibrant during Welcome Week,
and the feedback from our students and staff so far has been outstanding.
“The Howard Street development will be a huge asset for the university over many years to come,
providing an outstanding offer for potential future students. The development also provides a
fantastic new gateway for Sheffield, including spaces everyone can use and enjoy alongside our staff
and students.”
