Balfour Beatty has started work on a £23m contract to construct a building in the heart of Sheffield’s Cultural Industries Quarter. The two-block, seven-storey
building on Charles Street will house the University’s Sheffield Institute of Education and will include a lecture theatre, cafes, flexible teaching spaces, event hosting spaces and a data centre. A link bridge, designed by Sheffield-based designer Corin Mellor, will join the new building to the existing Arundel Building.
Sited next to Butcher Works, a
Grade II listed building, a central atrium will enclose the historical road, Brown Lane, which will run through the middle of the development maintaining the historical grid of the area.

NEWCASTLE STUDENT ACCOMMODATION BOOST
A project to transform a former brownfield site in Shieldfield into high-quality student accommodation, using local construction workers, is about to begin its second phase as Metnor Group gets the go-ahead for a multi-million pound funding package. The former brownfield site adjacent to Portland
Road, Shieldfield, is being transformed into quality student apartments and retail units using a predominantly local workforce. Metnor Group’s building division, Metnor
Construction, completed the first phase with a 274-bedroom luxury student accommodation building and two retail units last August. Known as Turner Court, the development was fully
let to students from both of the city’s universities, as well as students studying at Newcastle College, within days of opening. Phase two will see a further 338-bedroom
accommodation building developed, along with 4,500 square feet of retail/commercial space.

Charles Street is part of a £110m investment Sheffield Hallam is currently making in our future spaces and this building will not only make a real difference to our students, but to the region as a whole providing a centre for education courses and expertise going forward.” Balfour Beaty Ground
Engineering will commence piling works on the project next month and the building will be completed in the autumn 2015.
