THE LAST
BIODIVERSE ROOF DAY
Friday saw the last of the material going up on the roof..Nigel Dunnett, Groundwork Sheffield and some more guys from Sheffield Hallam University were there to to do the last bits of work.
The last few bags were lifted onto the roof by a telescopic fork lift. Cath gave another tour of the site and told folks about all the 'eco' things about the building. Perhaps they'll go home and do some of their own green things now, if they haven't already. The last job of the day was to lift on and place a section of tree that was saved from those that had to be cut down when the construction began. It will provide a great place for the birds to perch when they come to the roof to feed.

Earlier during the construction a Sparrowhawk was seen catching another bird for its lunch and eating it on the site, just goes to show you don't have to be in the countryside to see really wild life!

The guys from Hallam University-Architecture and Environmental Design course. From left to right: Daniel, Jonathan, Matthew, Duncan, Geoff. Thanks to you all.
