The flagship complex will be built on a sports pitch on the western edge of the Broomhill campus.

The two-year building project is expected to cost around £50m to build uniting three departments – economics, politics and sociology – as a ‘hub’ under one roof. Currently the Social Sciences estate is spread across 19 different buildings across campus.

Sheffield plans to submit a planning application early in the new year.
