The Endcliffe Student Village is a development of student accommodation for the University of Sheffield, located in Endcliffe in west Sheffield between Fulwood Road, Endcliffe Vale Road and Westbourne Road. The village accommodates most of the University's first year undergraduates, alongside some second and third years, postgraduates and student families.
The site includes buildings with a long history as student residences (Stephenson Hall, Crewe Flats, Halifax Hall) and several new apartment buildings, typically 4-5 storeys high. Construction of these blocks began in 2006, after the demolition of Sorby Hall and Earnshaw Hall and was completed with the addition of the redevelopment of Ranmoor House, now known as the Ranmoor Village.
Of the new apartment blocks, the two largest are known as Howden and Derwent. All of the apartment blocks are named after climbing crags in the Peak District of Derbyshire. At the centre of the Endcliffe Student Village is The Edge, a two-storey dining hall, bar and IT centre that contains staff offices and staff conference facilities.
Famous quotes containing the words student and/or village:
“Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness. To define beauty not in the most abstract, but in the most concrete terms possible, not to find a universal formula for it, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“With five to ten hundred pure-minded young women threading the streets of the village every evening unattended, vice must slink away, like frost before the rising sun ...”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
