When Bond Bryan Architects received the brief to design a second University Technical College on the Olympic Legacy Park in Sheffield the vision was to engage a unique cluster of world-class companies, service providers, colleges and universities to create an outstanding educational experience and to inspire and nurture young people to have the skills, passion, empathy and talent to work in computing, healthcare technology, sports science, exercise medicine and wellbeing sectors.
Bond Bryan’s design includes a cantilever over a double height main entrance leading to the full-height Project Centre, which creates a great impact and an outstanding first impression of the UTC 2 Sheffield for Human Sciences and Computing. A plaza integrates external learning, testing, analysis, discussion, gathering and games areas such as table tennis. A south facing green roof at third floor level will support the provision of a science garden area.
