ISG Totty Building - First class win for ISG Totty Building at
Sheffield Hallam University
ISG Totty Building has secured a £1.5 million design & build
project to construct new Post Experience Development (PED)
facilities for Sheffield Hallam University, supporting the
institution’s commitment to continuous professional development for
students and staff alike. Set within the Collegiate Crescent
conservation area of the city, the purpose-built resource centre has
been sympathetically designed to complement the local built
environment, with Ashlar stone and timber cladding to its façade and
a green sedum roof.
The first phase of the project involves the demolition of an
existing two-storey building on site, which currently houses two
squash courts and a lecture theatre. The contractor will then
excavate material between this structure and an adjacent mews
building to enable the construction of a gently curving two-storey
link-way, providing improved access to the mews building and
additional teaching areas above.
The new three-storey steel frame PED building will feature a large
lecture theatre and welfare facilities on the ground floor, with
five large teaching areas on the upper two levels. The existing
two-storey mews building will also be stripped out, remodelled and
comprehensively upgraded as part of the project, to provide a range
of flexible teaching facilities for the University. The project is
due to commence on 16 July, with completion scheduled for mid May
2008.
Philip Ryder, managing director of ISG Totty Building, commented:
“The PED building project represents an excellent example of
collaborative working between ISG Totty Building and its client. By
understanding the University’s requirements and expectations from
the very outset, we were able to develop a creative solution that
delivers first rate teaching facilities within an aesthetically
pleasing design.”
