    M12064B6832 w " ISSUE 1152 MONDAY 9TH JULY 2007 THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF NEWCASTLE STUDENTS Bridge Building BY GEMMA DAVJES EDITOR PLANS have recently been unveiled for regeneration at Barras Bridge, as the University aims to create a 'front door' for visitors to the campus. The centrepiece would be a five- storey, glass-fronted Student and Administrative Services Building, on the site of the car park opposite the Culture Lab and Campus Coffee. The building would incorporate student services including the Careers Service, Accommodation Service, Student Welfare Service and Student Progress Service in order to give Newcastle students facilities likening a 'one stop shop' arrangement. A number of environmentally- friendly features have been designed into the new building. It would generate about 10 per cent of its energy needs from renewable sources and further reduce its carbon footprint by virtue of highly efficient building fabric, glazing, heating, lighting and IT facilities and a design that makes an air conditioning system unnecessary. The total cost of the project is expected to be £35m, of which £2m improving realm features around tni building,, to make the campus more accessible to pedestrians via the Barras Bridge entrance to King's Walk. Work is expected to start Spring 2008 and be completed in Autumn 2009.
