The Forest School idea is very potent concept around a theory that whatever children can do inside they can also do outside. Ecclesall woods, the ancient woodland within the city boundary has an old Sawmill site. The site has exciting new plans for developing a centre for innovative use of timber and has a number of small businesses and enterprises already on the site. At the moment the Forest School site has outdoor play area and a teepee. They would like to develop a “structure” to allow for some additional facilities – to be decided but most likely an “outside classroom” and the aim is to build the project.

Live projects are a leading educational initiative at the University of Sheffield School of Architecture. Architecture students work in groups on a 6 week Live Project with a range of clients including local community groups, charities, health organisations and regional authorities. In some cases the projects involve actual building, in others design of urban masterplans, in others consultation exercises. In every case, the project is real, happening in real time with real people.
