Campus Developments at Northumbria

Northumbria University has two campuses in Newcastle upon Tyne. City Campus is situated in the heart of the city and Coach Lane Campus which is just three miles from the city centre in the leafy suburbs of Newcastle.

City Campus

Divided into City Campus East and City Campus West by the city motorway, City Campus houses most of Northumbria’s 31,500 students. The two parts of the City Campus are linked by a £4million new bridge which was officially opened in 2008 by The Minister of State for Trade and Investment, Lord Digby Jones.

City Campus East

The newest part of Northumbria’s City Campus, City Campus east is home to the schools of Law, Design and the Newcastle Business School (NBS). NBS and Law are housed in one building while the School of Design is across a courtyard. City Campus East has already become a Newcastle landmark since opening in September 2007, winning awards from The Journal newspaper and the Low Carbon New Build Project of the Year.

City Campus West

Work is now underway across City Campus West to develop the existing facilities and build a new state-of-the-art sports centre. To link the two halves of the City Campus, Ellison Quadrangle was opened up and re-landscaped, this attractive new area now links the new development to the existing campus and provides a glimpse of what City Campus West will look like when improvements have been completed.

Coach Lane Campus

Plans to potentially sell the land at Coach Lane West and further develop the modern Coach Lane East to enable the School of Health, Community and Education Studies to be housed on one consolidated site are currently under discussion.
