Major new site at Sheffield’s Digital Campus reaches completion

Endeavour marks the fourth and final phase of the masterplan for Sheffield Digital Campus which, over the past 15 years, has helped to regenerate a key area of the city by creating almost a quarter of a million sq ft of workspace supporting up to 2,500 skilled jobs.

Adam Varley, development director at SGI, said: “Practical completion at Endeavour marks the final chapter in our 15-year journey at Sheffield Digital Campus and is an achievement that everyone involved can be extremely proud of.

“Building on what is a very tight site in the city centre, the construction process has not been without its challenges, especially given the impact that both COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine has had on the construction of the building but, I am delighted to say that everyone’s collective efforts have resulted in the delivery of Sheffield’s greenest and most significant new build Grade A office building for several years.”

Endeavour features a glazed façade, double-height reception, seven highly-efficient and flexible floorplates, ground floor amenity space and a rooftop terrace providing panoramic skyline views.

The building also includes an all-electric energy system.

Endeavour was delivered by principal contractor, GMI Construction Group Plc with support from CJCT as architect, Arup as engineering consultant, Burnley Wilson Fish as cost consultant and Zerum as planning consultant.

Andrew Hurcomb, divisional managing director, Yorkshire at GMI Construction Group, said: “Endeavour highlights the benefits of a collaborative approach between developer, architect, contractor and supply chain to deliver a contemporary and highly sustainable building, which minimises its impact on the environment.

“We have employed modern methods of construction and materials, such as carbon neutral aluminium, which led to a significant cut in carbon emissions from the construction of the building envelope.”
