Live Works Urban Room is our exhibition, events and teaching space, located on The Moor shopping street, in the heart of Sheffield city centre. 

Live Works is run by a core team of staff with many years of experience in socially engaged design, teaching and research. We also employ highly skilled students and graduates, enabling them to gain experience in socially-engaged practice whilst helping to retain talented graduates in Sheffield. 

Our ground floor shopfront hosts a changing programme of events, exhibitions and activities, providing opportunities for members of the public to learn about, contribute to and debate the past, present and future of Sheffield’s built environment.

Live Works is the first permanent university-funded Urban Room in the UK and we were a founding member of the national Urban Rooms Network. The network’s members include community groups, local councils, civic societies, universities and arts organisations.
