Bridge Building 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.

  • University Museums and Outreach: the Newcastle Upon Tyne Case Study
    University museums and outreach: the Newcastle upon Tyne case study LINDSAY ALLASON-JONES Abstract This paper describes developments in attitudes to public access and outreach at the University of Newcastle over the past thirty years, and the impact of those developments on the University’s Museum of Antiquities. The author describes some of the ground-breaking educational initiatives undertaken by the museum, and the plans for its future as part of the Great North Museum. Early days When I first began work at the Museum of Antiquities at Newcastle in 1978 the University was very clear as to the Museum’s role. It was there to assist teaching firstly and secondly to provide a basis for research. The museum was always a curious phenomenon because, although it was run by the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, the collections were mostly owned by the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle upon Tyne. When the joint agreement to establish the Museum was signed in 1956, the Society was very firm that members of the public were to be allowed in for free. The then University of Durham was equally firm that the Keeper of the Museum had to be a longstanding member of the academic body, preferably at the level of Senior Lecturer. When the University of Newcastle upon Tyne was created, and the agreement renegotiated, this was still adhered to. By the time I took over responsibility for the Museum of Antiquities from Dr David Smith in 1989 and later added the Shefton Museum of Greek Art and Archaeology to my portfolio, I had already become very aware that a university museum was in an unenviable position, caught between the demands of the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) on the one hand and the museum world on the other.
