Tenants taking up space in the new Electric Works block in Sheffield are offering their staff a quirky shortcut from the top of the four-storey building to the ground floor.
The 26m long spiral slide cuts the journey from the third floor down to seven seconds.
Management, which runs the building, said: “Electric Works will be the first office building in the UK to have a permanent helter-skelter for the use of those who work there. It will also be available for business visitors and for conference visitors, but it will not be open to the general public.”
“Companies and the individual people working here feel that the helter-skelter reflects their approach to work, where the division between work and play is blurred and where the risk, imagination and creativity that characterises their work is going to be reflected in their surroundings.
“In the current economic conditions it is encouraging to see that there are digital businesses which are sufficiently confident to invest in new offices and facilities.”
The building, the second of five which will form Sheffield’s new Digital Campus, opens next week.
It is designed for companies employing up to 75 people in the creative and digital sectors and will provide workspace for up to 400 people.
A cash-strapped college student Wu Xiaobin in China paid his course fees and living expenses – with five tonnes of oranges.
Wu Xiaobin drove two truckloads of oranges more than 130 miles from his home on a farm in Quzhou to his college in Hangzhou.
He decided to try to sell the oranges as he couldn’t otherwise afford to continue his studies at Zhejiang University of Media and Communications.
“This year my hometown had a good harvest of oranges, but due to the economic downturn and rumours of orange parasite infections, few sales could be made,” said Wu.
“I spent the whole winter vacation helping my father try to sell the oranges but with little success.”
Instead, his father gave him a third of their farm’s 15 tonne orange harvest for him to try and sell in Hangzhou to pay for his studies.
And, thanks to local media covering his story, he sold all of the oranges within an hour of his trucks arriving on campus.
Companies bought boxes of oranges for their staff to support Wu and local families also came to buy fruit to help him stay on at college.
