About this live project















This project looks at the Broomhall Centre in Sheffield. The Centre is a long established community facility that operates seven days a week catering for a hugely diverse range or groups and organisations. The Centre is run by a charity, Broomhall Centre Charity, who employ the Centre Manager, Sharon Gill. The building is owned by Sheffield City Council.

The Centre's website can be found at: www.broomhallcentre.org.uk

The aims of the project are to work with the Centre Manager and users to explore and investigate ways in which the building could be renovated. The aim of the renovation is to achieve an innovative “low carbon footprint, energy efficient proposal, to be a flagship project for renovating a Victorian building for community use appropriate for the 21st century”. The building should hopefully serve also as a means of “educating local residents and users of the building in energy saving initiatives and other global issues around energy use”.
