The Royal Hallamshire Hospital is a general and teaching hospital located in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. It is in the city's West End, facing Glossop Road and close to the main campus of University of Sheffield and the Collegiate Crescent campus of Sheffield Hallam University. The hospital is run by the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (which also runs the Northern General Hospital), and is also in proximity to the Charles Clifford Dental Hospital and Weston Park Hospital, both of which are part of the Trust, and the Sheffield Children's Hospital, which is not.HistoryThe main building designed by Adams, Holden and Pearson and was completed in 1978 and was opened by HRH Prince Charles, Prince of Wales. The previous low-rise outpatient buildings (in the foreground) date from the 1950s and the 1960s. The building is in the shape of a T with the rear part of the building overhanging a service road. The hospital consists of three main interlinked buildings, the most significant being the monolithic 21-storey concrete structure, the third highest in Sheffield after St Pauls Tower and the Arts Tower. The hospital can also be seen from just about anywhere in the city and is a distinctive landmark. The incinerator stack is at the foot of the T.
