Sheffield Hallam University’s new three-floor, purpose-built teaching facility, the Heart of the Campus Building, is another eye-catching addition to this burgeoning northern university.
HLM Architects and Graham Construction asked Planet to put together a proposal for the internal partitioning and architectural glass, ensuring high sound attenuation levels between the teaching facilities and the large central communal area.
The Planet team liaised with HLM Architects and Graham Construction to work out the structural calculations for the atrium glass line loads, making sure the glass met strict performance criteria.
Pod seating areas allow students to sit right up against the partitioning glass and enjoy uninterrupted views of the central atrium below.
Sheffield Hallam University Heart of the Campus building won an RIBA Yorkshire Award, in 2015.
