Sheffield Hallam University Accommodation

The key difference is that studios offer more privacy than apartments. Since your student experience is unique, it’s important to choose a room that suits your lifestyle.

The studios in our Sheffield student accommodation are fully self-contained, giving you your own private space with an en-suite bathroom, a double bed, a study area, and a kitchenette.

If you prefer a mix of privacy and socialising, an apartment might be the perfect fit. You'll still have your own double bed, en-suite, and study area, but you’ll share a fully equipped kitchen and living space with other students - a great way to meet new people!

Facade works - These primarily relate to the final facade works which are purely aesthetics. All fire protection and stopping is fully complete throughout the building and independently certified for safe occupation by Building control. The completion of these works is done using a series of mast climbers which will be in operation during the hours of 8 to 6pm Monday to Friday with Sat 9 to 1pm. These mast climbers will be in operation on the upper floors of the accommodation (above level 10) and whilst may pass windows will not stop at occupied floors. The mast climbers will progressively be removed as the works are completed. All works are expected to bee complete by the end of October 2025.

Access to floors 11 and above including the Sky lounge and terrace will be available from 10th December 2025.

Temporary protective fencing is in place with clearly designated access into the building and for all fire exits for safe egress and escape if required.

A limited number of workers will be using the lift within the main building for access to the restricted higher floors supervised by on site management. There are two other lifts available for resident use only.

Highway works - New kerbs and footpaths works are being completed on behalf of the local authority directly outside of the building. These works may continue until Jan 2026 but will not prevent safe access into and out of the building.

Adjacent construction works - Next door to the building there are separate building works. These involve partial restrictions to the bottom of Hollis Croft Road and pavement of which we have no control over.
