City Centre Campus of Sheffield Hallam University. The expansion of the university across this site has been in stages since the amalgamation of Sheffield College of Technology and Sheffield College of Art in 1969 to form Sheffield Polytechnic. The land on which the campus is sited was comprehensively replanned following World War II - contemporary with the earlier phases of the university is the 'Arundel Gate' dual carriageway section of the never completed 'Civic Circle' proposed by 'Sheffield Replanned' (1945). This section of road necessitated the wholesale demolition of a large area of 'grid iron' street blocks first laid out in the late 19th century on the former Alsop's Fields (see Fairbank 1797). Legibility is invisible within this area - the original urban form was completely rewritten in this area.
