£8m Newcastle Union restoration complete

Newcastle environmental firm SLR Consulting have collaborated with Faulkerbrowns Architects and BAM Construction in an £8m refurbishment of Newcastle University’s Students’ Union building.

The works have transformed the building to include 24 hour computer clusters, social learning areas, a student advice centre, gig and event space, as well as new places to eat and drink.

SLR redesigned a number of features including the courtyard to the rear of the Union, external cladding and new handrails.

The firm’s graphics team prepared a number of 3D visualisations at their Newcastle Sailors Bethall base.

SLR’s Senior Landscape Architect Adrian Clarke, who designed the scheme, said: “This project collaboraiton has helped to transform the once drab and uninspiring space into a modern and colourful hub for student activity.” <!—EndFragment—>
