Celebrating a Decade of Impact at The Diamond

In this reflective piece, Sophie Barwick takes us through the special 10-year celebration of the Diamond building —now firmly established as the heart of engineering education at the University of Sheffield. From cutting-edge labs and inspiring staff, to the student-driven innovation of the iForge , Sophie shares how the Diamond has shaped her journey as both a student and GTA. Her insight captures the building’s enduring purpose: a space built for students, enriched by community, collaboration, and hands-on learning. This is part of our 10 years of the Diamond series: 10 Years of The Diamond - 12 Architects Back in October, the Diamond opened its doors to staff, students, alumni and visitors to celebrate 10 years of the Diamond building. Over this time the Diamond building has become a fundamental place for the education of thousands of engineering students at the University of Sheffield. The range of state of the facilities, enthusiastic staff and open study spaces make it a great p...

Ten Years of The Diamond - Twelve Architects

The conception of Diamond Building was a huge project here at Sheffield Engineering that aimed to make a world leading space for Engineering teaching. It is the home of high quality teaching labs for all the engineering disciplines, as well as innovative teaching and study space. It is a wonderful space to be in and remains as popular as ever with students. The building led to the creation of a specialist multidisciplinary team to deliver and coordinate the teaching that takes place in it, and they continue to lead innovation in teaching and learning and are core contributors to the Centre for Engineering Education . This wouldn’t have been possible without the team who built the Diamond, Twelve Architects . They made the space both iconic and great for teaching, something that is often overlooked, but that has a huge impact on learning and learners. In this post Twelve Architects share their perspective of the project. This is part of our 10 years of the Diamond s...

Reflections from SEFI 2025: Engineering Education, Innovation, and Finnish Inspiration

Another year, another annual SEFI conference, where world leaders in Engineering Education meet and share new develops and best practice. Dr Raja Toqeer was there at SEFI 2025 in Tampere, Finland, where he chaired key discussions on accreditation and policy, shared his latest work, and learned about Finland’s unique approach to engineering education. This September, I had the privilege of attending the SEFI 2025 Annual Conference at Tampere University , Finland, a gathering of global educators, policymakers, and innovators shaping the future of engineering education. The event was an extraordinary opportunity to share our research from the University of Sheffield , contribute to international discussions on accreditation and pedagogy, and experience Finland’s remarkable blend of technology and wellbeing-focused educational excellence . Chairing Conversations on Quality and Policy My conference began by chairing two key sessions: the Special Interest Group (SIG) on QualityAssuranc...
