University of Sheffield

The University of Sheffield is a leading university located in Sheffield, UK.

Location

The University of Sheffield is not a campus university, though most of its buildings are close together. The centre of the University's presence lies one mile to the west of Sheffield city centre where there is a mile-long collection of buildings belonging almost entirely to the University. This area includes the students' union, the Octagon Centre, Firth Court, the Geography building, the Alfred Denny Building (housing natural sciences and including a small museum), the Dainton Building (chemistry) and the Hicks Building (mathematics and physics). The Grade II*-listed library and Arts Tower are also located there. A concourse under the main road allows students to easily move between these buildings.

East lies Mappin Street, which is also home to a number of University buildings, including the faculty of engineering (partly housed in the Grade II-listed Mappin Building) and the departments of management and computer science. The University also maintains the Turner Museum of Glass in this area. The University has recently acquired the nearby former Jessop Hospital and HSE Building and plans to convert these to house more departments.
