The Diamond
Completed in 2015, The Diamond was built to be the new home for the Department of Engineering at the University of Sheffield. It took two years to build, at a cost of £81 million. The six-floor building takes its name from its unique facade, which comprises a cellular pattern of interconnected diamond shapes made of anodised aluminium, inspired by the form of diamond at a molecular level, over a frame of reinforced concrete and exterior glass cladding.
