Steel City Stadium expands its offer

A Sheffield-based mixed-use stadium and workspace hub is set to expand its business offer with a new café and flexible co-working space.

Scarborough Group International (SGI) is investing further into Steel City Stadium at Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park.

The development includes a business lounge with hot desking, private booths and meeting areas, alongside a café for members and the local community, with bosses saying it will “create a space that brings people together”.

Having recently been renamed to reflect Sheffield’s industrial heritage and innovation, the stadium already houses more than 30 businesses and sits among institutions including Sheffield Hallam’s Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre, UTC Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park and the forthcoming National Centre for Child Health Technology.

Ian Sanderson, estates and development consultant at SGI, said: “Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park is evolving into one of the UK’s most exciting locations for businesses working in sport, health and wellbeing. 

“Steel City Stadium is at the heart of that transformation, not just as a sporting venue, but as a business destination. 

“By activating the ground floor with a high-quality business lounge and café, we’re creating a space that brings people together – whether for work or to simply connect. 

“We look forward to welcoming businesses, visitors and the wider South Yorkshire community when we open our doors this spring.”

Deb Hetherington, director of innovation ecosystems at SGI, added: “High-growth, innovation-led businesses thrive in environments where they can access not just workspace, but the right support, connections and opportunities. 

“By expanding the offer at Steel City Stadium, we’re strengthening Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park’s role as a launchpad for ambitious companies looking to scale faster by working alongside leading researchers, entrepreneurs and industry experts.”
