Campus Development
An overview of developments taking place across the University.
Health innovation neighbourhood plans
Newcastle University in partnerships with the City Council, NHS Trusts and others are developing outline masterplan proposals for the redevelopment of the old General Hospital site.
The vision for the site is to deliver:
- an integenerational residential environment
- world-leading research facilities
- an integrated health hub to deliver longer and healthier lives
The community consultation is an opportunity to present the core development objectives and initial site options with you and to begin to understand your aspirations for the site.
Our aim is, through open and meaningful consultation, to develop productive engagement and support from the Council, local wards, groups and local residents.
Stephenson building redevelopment
The Stephenson building was designed in the 1940s. It's since been the home to more than 25,000 engineering students. The redevelopment will create a facility for the 21st century and beyond.
The building is a highly visible gateway to the University’s engineering quarter. Our ambition is to use the original footprint to create a 18,000 m2 cutting-edge building. It will provide extensive space for:
- education
- research and innovation
- industrial collaboration
International architecture and engineering practice Norr Group are leading the project. There's a budget of £70m. The target date for completion is late 2024.
