Innovation in Teaching and Learning
As well as a 268-seat lecture theatre with ‘turn and learn’ seating, Charles Street was designed to include flexible, state of the art teaching and learning spaces, including a SCALE UP room and student-centred informal learning spaces. Teaching rooms contain flexible furniture which allows academics to quickly and easily change the room layout to suit the activity taking place. The Learning Enhancement and Academic Development team have worked closely with academic staff to introduce and embed new pedagogies, enabled by the presence of these flexible formal and informal learning spaces. The easily-adaptable spaces allow academics to think differently about their teaching practice and the students benefit from the adjacent informal learning space, allowing them to continue working on tasks together outside of formal teaching time.
Taking the principles established in Charles Street, the University are now beginning to adapt spaces within their existing buildings to mirror these flexible learning environments, ensuring that students and staff can embrace new and innovative ways of working and learning.
Matt Hutton, Lead Designer, commented: “This project has been a labour of love for the whole design team and we believe the results speak for themselves. The opportunities provided by the building and the flexibility in teaching and learning methods available will, undoubtedly, enable the University to be at the forefront of education delivery for many years into the future.”
The annual Education Estates Awards & Dinner will take place on the first night of the Education Estates conference – 1st November at the Mercure Manchester Piccadilly Hotel.
Bond Bryan Architects are delighted that our Sheffield Hallam University, Charles Street project has been shortlisted for the Brick Awards within the Education Building Award category.
The prestigious awards ceremony – hosted at The Hilton, Park Lane – will take place on Thursday, 9th November 2017.
The annual Brick Awards celebrates the use of clay brick in every aspect of design and construction. Recognising the excellence of architects, developers, manufacturers and brickwork contractors, the Brick Awards has established a reputation as one of the industry’s most respected and well-attended events.
Brickwork is a key component of the Charles Street project and its context; Bond Bryan approached the design and detailing of this element as an opportunity to engage with the immediate context whilst also reflecting the historical significance found within the detailing of the adjacent Grade II listed Butcher Works building.
All bricks for the project were provided and made “bespoke” by Forterra in their Wilnecote factory in Staffordshire and installed by Limetree Building Ltd.
Working alongside the specialists, we have utilised a pattern of projecting headers with single and double cant brickwork to create depth and to address scale and massing.
The completed elevations provide a real sense of place within the city’s Cultural Industry Quarter (C.I.Q.) and ensure a distinct dialogue with the listed building.
