The new campus includes a mock courtroom for law students and a trading room for students to study the stock markets.
Nicola Rawlins, deputy chief operating officer, said: “A key part of the new campus has been the quality of our estate, the age of it and the need to provide up-to-date modern teaching facilities.
“We’ve relocated subjects out of our Collegiate campus and have moved staff and students out of some older, environmentally poor buildings and into what is now state-of-the-art teaching and learning facilities.”
The campus has solar panels to generate its own electricity, the capability to capture and recycle rainwater, triple glazing and heat pumps. A “living wall” made up of plants around the building will improve air quality.
Ms Rawlins added: “We have created Hallam Green, a new public space that sits between the buildings, and we have roof terraces so students and staff have access to fresh air and nature, while still being right in the heart of the city centre.”
