University to develop state of the art Conference Village The University of Sheffield has announced a building and refurbishment programme to significantly improve conference accommodation and facilities concentrated on the Endcliffe campus 1.5 miles from the city centre. The Endcliffe development will be phased over 2 years and when completed in 2007/08 will offer a convenient, single site facility in rolling parkland. Architect designed, the site will offer clusters of halls of residence containing up to 4000 en-suite bedrooms. Each hall will contain flexible conference and function spaces that can be subdivided to match client needs with a range of breakout rooms adjacent. The Ranmoor development will be completed in 2010.
The development also offers twin catering hubs serving award-winning cuisine. There are flexible function and restaurant spaces, bar and entertainment facilities, casual café dining and alfresco options to tempt organisers and their delegates. Improved transport links open up the city to delegates placing a wealth of open-air cafes, restaurants, shops, galleries and theatres on the doorstep. At the heart of the road and rail network, the campus is only an hour´s drive from three international airports at Manchester, East Midlands and Leeds/Bradford, affording easy links within the UK and Europe. Opened in May 2005 Robin Hood/Doncaster Airport is 35 minutes from the city centre.
