Sheffield University will begin building work on the site in Broad Lane in the city in November and aim to have it completed in August 2013.

The site will then become the centre of the faculty’s postgraduate research and teaching activities.

The university’s Faculty of Engineering has a tradition of working with industry giants including Rolls-Royce, Network Rail and Siemens. Its industrial successes include the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre with Boeing and the new £25m Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre.
