The Urban Sciences Building is a £58 million commitment by Newcastle University to lead international research into digitally enabled urban sustainability. Situated on the Science Central site, the building and its surrounding city area will become a ‘living laboratory’ underpinning research to make urban centres more sustainable for future generations. The Urban Sciences building will be a flagship development on the 24-acre site of Science Central when it opens in autumn 2017. Link (Archive Link )
Newcastle's 'new' co-op was built on Newgate Street in 1932. Although 'art decor' in style, it gave more than a nod to Egypt where Howard Carter's discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb had just taken place. See http://www.timmonet.co.uk/html/newcastle_co-op.htm
