The University says its ambition for the Health Innovation Campus is to “unlock new external inward investment,” and create “the most advanced cluster for health, wellbeing and sustainability in the world”, building capacity in skills, research, innovation, business support and community engagement.

Professor Sir Chris Husbands, vice-chancellor of Sheffield Hallam University, said: “Our vision set out today shows how the University will build on its presence at the Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park, bringing together more leading academics from across health-related disciplines to tackle some of societies biggest health related challenges.”

“The Sheffield Hallam Health Innovation Campus will transform lives locally and globally through research innovation, and skills development in health, sport, and sustainability.”

The new campus will focus on the entire human lifespan: from maternal, infant care and early years education to healthy and active ageing.

It will also integrate subject areas including health, care, biosciences, robotics, food engineering, nutrition, education, sport, social science, business, design and computing.
