Facilities

The School of Architecture and Landscape is based in the University of Sheffield's iconic Arts Tower - a spectacular listed building that has had a £36 million refurbishment.

With stunning panoramic views over Sheffield, our studio space forms the heart of your learning and is where you'll participate in workshops, group seminars, tutorials and project reviews.

Lectures may be located in central teaching spaces - you can also take advantage of facilities across the campus including our Print and Make workshop.

Studios 

As well as being the location in which things are made, 'studio' refers to a place in which collaboration and exchange of ideas can flourish.

Our studio culture provides a space for you to develop your own design approach within the frameworks.

For architecture students, each year group has a dedicated studio to use as a social and academic base.

All floors are open, to encourage you to mix freely together, in a relaxed environment.

Our studios facilitate digital and messy design practice and are equipped with everything you'll need, including drawing boards, a wireless network and kitchen space. Our computer suites come supplied with high specification computers, a range of industry standard and specialist software and are supported by an in-house IT expert.

In our undergraduate programmes, materials taught in lectures are brought into studio projects, where tutors and practising architects help guide you the design process.

MArch students work on studio projects, which build on the strengths and research interests of our design tutors.

Media unit

The Media Unit is the School’s home for digital media, photography and digital software support. 

There is a well equipped photography studio, digital design workstations with creative pen displays, equipment loans service including environment survey equipment and a range of digital media technology. The Media Unit supports a range of software and coordinates digital activity across the School, including school events and exhibitions. 

The Media Unit space is located in the iconic Arts Tower building and is open access throughout the week, with friendly and supportive staff on hand to support you throughout your studies. Students work in a collaborative environment with expansive views across Sheffield and surrounding landscapes.
