'Verde' between Wellington Street & Pitt Street
Student accommodation building at Science Central. Designed for Downing by Ian Simpson Architects, the new £21m complex has 543 student residential bedrooms and opened in September 2016. The building with frontage on both roads with the main entrance at the v-shaped point is clad in a green glazed terracotta tile.
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
