Information about the new buildings

These three new buildings include new homes for Sheffield Business School, Sheffield Institute of Law and Justice, Sheffield Institute of Social Sciences and the Architecture subject group from Sheffield Institute of Creative Industries.

The buildings have been designed with modern study in mind. Inside, you’ll find flexible digital-ready learning spaces, social areas and places to eat and drink. Outside, there are two rooftop gardens where you can relax and unwind between classes.

We’ve also added sustainability features like heat pumps and solar panels. Meanwhile, the new Hallam Green will enhance public space and biodiversity in the city centre.

Langsett

Langsett is the new home for Sheffield Business School. Here, you won’t just learn business, you’ll do it. Spark ideas in bright and airy teaching spaces, meet with clients or organisations in our modern Business Engagement Zone, or launch a startup in one of two pop-up shops. There’s even a Trading Floor where you can channel your inner stockbroker using industry-standard Bloomberg software.

Redmires

Redmires brings our Sheffield Institute of Law and Justice, Sheffield Institute of Social Sciences, and architecture courses under one roof. Budding lawyers can practise their closing arguments in a purpose-built courtroom and work on real cases in the Hallam Legal Advice Centre. For future architects, there’s a specialist studio and model-making lab with the latest 2D and 3D technology. And psychology students will have access to cutting-edge facilities, including speech, eye tracking and psychophysiology labs.

Strines

Strines is where you’ll find our new Institute of Technology – a state-of-the-art learning space for manufacturing, engineering, construction, and creative and digital disciplines. Standout facilities include an immersive AR and VR suite, high-resolution scanners and a robotics lab. Strines will double up as a new food venue with a café, fresh food market and casual dining restaurant. 

Hallam Green

A leafy haven at the heart of City Campus, Hallam Green will contain more than 400 square metres of new greenery and seating for up to 150 people. 25 new trees and a variety of plants will bring colour and biodiversity, while creating a vibrant space for outdoor events and exhibitions. There’ll also be facilities to support sustainable travel, including bike storage and showers.

Changes to planned timing and accessing support

We plan to open the buildings in a phased approach from January 2025. 

We’re sorry that there has been a delay to opening some of our new buildings on City Campus. This is due to a large national subcontractor going into administration over the summer. 

Some students who were planning to move campus part way through this academic year will now be based at Collegiate Campus for most of it. During summer 2025, it’s planned that these courses will move to City Campus.

Your course teams will be able to provide you with more detail on plans for the 2024/25 academic year. 

Choosing accommodation

Due to the phased opening of the new buildings, we’re sorry if you’re travelling further from your accommodation to your classes. 

If you’re living in halls, most accommodation is an equal distance to both Collegiate and City Campus.
