Newcastle University Boat Club, Newburn Bridge Road
Newcastle University Boat Club, Newburn Bridge Road
The boat house is situated on the south side of the River Tyne, just east of Newburn Bridge. Newcastle University Boat Club (NUBC) is the rowing club of Newcastle University. It was established in March 1911 as the boat club for Armstrong College (part of Durham University), and celebrated its centenary in 2011. The boathouse was built in 1953, but by 2009 was in a poor state of repair. In the late-2009 the University committed £500,000 to a complete refurbishment of the building. It now features brand new changing/showering facilities, warm-up/stretching area, kitchen and video analysis/meeting room. The existing boat storage area was refitted with new sliding racks and a dedicated maintenance bay created. An additional boat shed was constructed next to the current building in 2011.
