Live Project
A team of student architects from the Sheffield School of Architecture worked on a project to bring forward proposals for the future development of Hemingfield Colliery. They had just six weeks to research the possibilities, engage the local community and produce design and development ideas for the future of the site. They have done a great job; now let’s see how we can put their suggestions and guidance into practice!

Hemingfield Colliery – Live Project with Sheffield School of Architecture (SSoA)
Where will the future take us?
The Friends of Hemingfield Colliery are delighted to be working with the University of Sheffield’s School of Architecture (SSoA) in their innovative Live Projects initiative – bringing the skills and insights of a group of year 5 and 6 architecture and conservation students to bear on the real world challenges and exciting possibilities that await the former colliery site.
At the beginning of October, the SSoA team met the Friends and our partners from the Dearne Valley Landscape Partnership to begin discussions and conduct an initial site visit. The project will last for six weeks as the SSoA team conduct research and proceed to develop detailed proposals for the site.
