A new digital campus is at the heart of Sheffield’s plans to become the e-learning capital of Europe.
The digital campus, located in front of Sheffield’s train station, will be home to more than 3,000 creative and digital industries sector workers. Phase one – Electric Works – is already attracting companies to its 50,000 sq ft of flexible workspace and the second building is well underway. Proposals of the design of the third building have now been submitted.
Investment manager at Creative Sheffield, James Wilson says the South Yorkshire city is already seen as the home of e-learning in the UK and plans to attract more companies within the sector with the Sheffield Digital Campus. “Sheffield already has a larger number of e-learning companies than anywhere in the UK and more are being drawn to the city because of the depth of the talent pool as well as the lifestyle offered by a city on the edge of a National Park.
