Our Start-up Studio is based on the ground floor of the Ella Armitage Building.

The Ella Armitage Building is in-between the Diamond and Jessop West on Leavygreave Road.

The Start-up Studio is open Tuesday - Thursday throughout the academic year, 10 - 4pm.

We have a collaborative space for entrepreneurs to network and grow innovative ideas independently, or as a group. We also hold some of our masterclasses and workshops in this space. 

The space includes: 

  • Large meeting room with fitted interactive whiteboard.
  • Tables and chairs.
  • Individual meeting room
  • Kitchen
  • Team office room with monitors
  • Male/Female/Disabled toilets

We are available for drop-ins, but If you would like to discuss your business idea, please book a 1-1 meeting. 

The Start-up Studio rooms are located behind a swipe door access. This should be accessible using your active student or staff card. Please knock on the door or 'Emerge' window to be let in. 

The room is available for bookings for internal enterprise related activities. Please email enterprise@sheffield.ac.uk to confirm arrangements.
