  • Wallcap & Great North Museum: Hancock Invitation to Tender
    WallCAP & Great North Museum: Hancock Invitation to Tender: Digital Projection and Interpretation Development, Design, and Installation 1. Introduction The Hadrian’s Wall Community Archaeology Project (WallCAP) at Newcastle University in collaboration with the Great North Museum: Hancock (GNMH) wishes to appoint an individual or team to develop, design, and install digital projection-mapped interpretation in the Hadrian’s Wall permanent gallery by Sept 2021. The digital projection will focus on the internationally-significant Roman stone inscriptions and sculpture displayed in the central Hadrian’s Wall permanent gallery. The aim is to enhance interpretation and understanding of a number of these fascinating stones, which would once have been painted in bright colours. The target audience is primarily families with young children and KS1 and KS2 school children. The projection-based interpretation will work in conjunction with a program of activities delivered by GNMH staff. 2. Brief for Consultants WallCAP, based in the McCord Centre of Newcastle University, is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Lottery Fund (NLHF) to deliver a three-year project linked to capital investment in the conservation of heritage for the Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site and complete a program of activities to better research and understand the monument in the landscape. The activities focus on developing an improved awareness and involvement of existing and new audiences on the changing, sometimes fragile state of heritage and how heritage is incorporated into their own communities. The majority of activities are planned around two major strands: Heritage At Risk (HAR) and Stone Sourcing and Dispersal (SSD). These strands are supported by secondary strands consisting of training activities, public events and engagements, and development and use of digital resources.

Urban Sciences building, as seen from across Science Square: artistic impression. Images courtesy Hawkins/Brown 3 Newcastle University is developing its presence on the Science Central site to the north- west of the city centre, as part of a partnership-based initiative to re-position itself as a civic or public university for the 21st century. The university has been central to the city’s designation as a Science City, and its strategy for economic revitalisation based on the promotion of a socially-inclusive, post-industrial knowledge society. Science Central was conceived as a form of science and technology park, integrated into the city centre, which would be a physical embodiment of the Science City and the council’s partnership with the university; a former colliery and brewery site where new university research facilities would be co-located with businesses, public open space, community gardens and homes, attracting investment and government funding for research and physical infrastructure. The University’s first building dedicated to Urban Sciences will open in Autumn 2017, as a resource for academics and the public, and in March 2015 benefited from the announcement of an additional £10m of government investment through the Collaboratorium for Research in Infrastructure and Cities (UKCRIC).
