The students feel that they were under-informed about Department of Landscape’s move from the Arts Tower.
Landscape will relocate to the Crookesmoor Building in January 2009, but the Department of Architecture will remain some distance away in its current location in the Arts Tower.
A second year student studying Landscape and Architecture said: "The first I heard of the move was in an email a couple of weeks ago. The lack of information on the move makes it a bit of a worry how it will go.
"We are coming up to a project in which we are going to have to integrate the two departments and I don’t know how it will work out.
"We will be making a site model in one space but will have to split our time between the two departmental locations."
A spokesperson from the University of Sheffield has said: "Staff from both Landscape and Architecture are keen to minimise any disruption for students, especially those on dual courses, who are studying both subjects.
"The timetables for semester two, which starts in January 2009, have been put together to minimise the movement of students on dual courses between the two departments, and the practical implications of this will be monitored closely.
"Both Architecture and Landscape are working to ensure that students are aware of the move and how it will affect them."
The Architecture department will be moving in mid-June 2009 to join the Landscape department in the Crookesmoor building for the next academic year.
The student added: "On the one hand the move could be really bad, but I accept that in the long run, everything will be much closer together."
