The University of Sheffield’s state-of-the-art music practice and studio facility, the Soundhouse, is now complete.

The striking development, based on concept designs by careyjones architects and delivered by Jefferson Sheard Architects, is the first building to be completed on the University’s Jessop site this year.

The three-storey building with it’s unique black cube structure is set to become a landmark on the campus.

Professor Keith Burnett, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sheffield, said: “The Soundhouse is an innovative addition to the campus and will allow our students to nurture and develop their passion for music in a modern and creative environment.”

The Soundhouse is the first building to be completed in the second phase of the development of the Jessop site, following the completion of the Sheffield Bioincubator in the first phase.

Mike Harris, Director at careyjones architects, said that working with the University of Sheffield allowed careyjones to push the design boundaries for the Soundhouse, with it’s ‘music box’ design creating a stunning piece of architecture that sits well in its surroundings.”

Tom Rhys Jones, Managing Director of Jefferson Sheard Architects, described the project as technically challenging and highly innovative in terms of both the cladding and internal fit out and added that the Soundhouse required construction methods never before used in the UK.
