Construction and built environment

The industry is facing a challenging economic climate – with an increasing need for innovation and digitisation as well as sustainable practice. 

At Sheffield Hallam we understand the challenges faced by the sector and the need for skills and new talent to help support economic recovery and drive it forward. 

We work closely with industry, with companies including BAM, Kier and Barratt, to turn academic expertise into real-world applications and to develop specific programmes to upskill existing professionals and recruit new talent.

Our focus is on delivering and demonstrating bottom-line impact in an industry we understand at every level. Many of our academic staff have worked and continue to work in practice, while others are represented on national and regional boards. Everything we do is built around core values of sustainability, environmentally sensitive design and profitable development.


We offer expertise in facilities management with Europe's leading experts in this area applying the latest strategic thinking in the field. Whilst our experts in materials engineering have been involved in research and development to develop sustainable materials for the construction industry for many years.
