Olive Grove

Our Advanced Technology Centre is The Sheffield College’s home of engineering, motor vehicle, gas fitting and plumbing, just a five minute walk down the road from our City Campus.

Olive Grove

After a recent major investment at our Advanced Technology Centre (formerly Olive Grove), we have provided students with state-of-the-art workshops which include the exact same machinery as would be found in industry settings, the latest CAD software, new classrooms and a Learning Resource Centre to keep us at the cutting edge of the changes in manufacture, electrical and electronic engineering.

The Advanced Technology Centre also has a dedicated motor vehicle workshop with tyre fitting machine, wheel balancing equipment and car ramps, as well as a workshop for body repair and refinishing.
