Sheffield’s second £10m UTC gets the green light

SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL have given the city’s second University Technical College the go-ahead.

The £10m facility, for human sciences and computing, is being led by the Sheffield College with Sheffield Hallam and Sheffield Chamber of Commerce.

BAM Construction is set to start on the facility next month, which has been designed by Bond Bryan Architects. It will open at the Olympic Legacy Park in September 2016.

Andrew Cropley, executive director, Strategic Planning and Business Development, The Sheffield College, said: “This is great news for young people and employers in Sheffield City Region.

“It marks a significant milestone for this exciting project, which will provide young people with strong career prospects and support regional business growth.”
