The Sheffield office of law firm Irwin Mitchell has advised Sheffield Hallam University on its completed £27m Heart of the Campus development.

The three-storey building, which was completed by Graham Construction, has a number of environmentally sustainable features, including rainwater harvesting tanks, 100 Solar PV panels, under-floor heating and ground source heat pumps.

Julie Morrissy, Construction Partner at law firm Irwin Mitchell, advised Sheffield Hallam University on the project. She said:

Mark Swales, director of estates and facilities at Sheffield Hallam University, said: “We’re delighted with our new Heart of the Campus development which has been handed over on schedule following a great working relationship between the university estates team and Graham as main contractor.

This new facility will make a real difference to the experience of staff and students based at Collegiate Campus and is a stunning addition to our campus.”
