Abstract
The Arts Tower forecourt at the University of Sheffield is a large open area surrounded on the east and west sides by low rise buildings and on the north side by a highrise tower block. Pedestrian access to the tower block is across the forecourt and instances of severe personal discomfort due to wind effects are common in this area during the period from September to March of each year. An investigation of the ground level wind environment has been undertaken at both model scale and full scale and the existing situation has been defined. The use of various combinations of entrance pavilions, roofs and fences have been studied in a wind tunnel in an attempt to formulate a design which would alleviate the area's present problems of personal discomfort which are induced by wind effects.
