The Wave is the name of one of the University of Sheffield’s newest buildings. It’s pretty obvious why the name was chosen.
The building was hit by a significant delay during its construction when it was discovered that the original concrete pilings were not sufficient for the expected level of settlement when the final structure was built, and had to be demolished. This added an additional 18 months to the construction period andn the building finally opened two years ago in November 2023.
I took these three shots while walking past, but I expect there are a whole bunch of interesting pictures to be had from it.
