The Armstrong building is the oldest building upon the Newcastle campus and is named after William Armstrong.

History

[edit]

The building is the site of the original Armstrong College founded in 1871.[2] The building was constructed in three stages; the north east wing was completed first at a cost of £18,000 and opened by HRH Princess Louise on 5 November 1888. The south-east wing, which includes the Jubilee Tower, and south-west wings were opened in 1894. The Jubilee Tower was built with surplus funds raised from an Exhibition to mark Queen Victoria's Jubliee in 1887. The north-west front, forming the main entrance, was completed in 1906 and features two stone figures to represent science and the arts. Much of the later construction work was financed by Sir Isaac Lowthian Bell, the metallurgist and former Lord Mayor of Newcastle, after whom the main tower is named. In 1906 it was opened by King Edward VII.[3]

The building contains the King's Hall, which serves as the university's chief hall for ceremonial purposes where Congregation ceremonies are held. It can contain 500 seats.[4] King Edward VII gave permission to call the Great Hall, King's Hall.[3]

The Careers Service was located in the Armstrong building before moving to the King's Gate building.

Quadrangle

[edit]

The University Quadrangle, located next to the Armstrong building, is the oldest part of the University campus. Many graduation photographs are taken here, due to the scenic backdrop the garden provides. Cars used to be able to drive through the arches and the quadrangle. In 1949 the Quadrangle was turned into a formal garden in memory of members of Newcastle University who gave their lives in the two World Wars.[5] In the Summer of 2009 the quadrangle is having some more landscaping work done.

Uses and schools

Schools and services which are located within the Armstrong building are:

Architect(s)Joseph Oswald

The Bruce Building is part of the campus of Newcastle University on Percy Street, in the Haymarket area.

Between 1896 and 1900 the Bruce Building was built on the site of the Hotspur Hotel, as the new premises of Newcastle Breweries Limited. The building was designed by local architect Joseph Oswald, and a builder's strike took place during construction, adding to the completion time. The building lends its name from the Percy Street Academy, Newcastle's first college founded in 1806 by John Bruce, which had previously stood on the site.[9]

It is three storeys high, constructed of red Dumfriesshire sandstone and red bricks from Commondale, North Yorkshire, on a grey granite plinth. It also has a corbelled corner turret with copper fishscale dome. The building's interior has oak floors, mahogany doors and panelling, a marble staircase, stained glass windows and decorative tiling.

As well as housing offices the Bruce Building and surrounding brewery complex contained a mineral water works, beer-bottling plant and wine and spirit stores in the basement. There was also a stable for 36 horses, a blacksmith's forge and coopers' and joiners' shops. An engine and boiler house supplied the premises. Under the stable yard were cellars which were reached via the brewery's bonded warehouse on the nearby St Thomas' Street.[10]

Due to the brewery's other business of brewing ginger beer, the building was deemed not large enough. Thus a separate building was built across the Haymarket in Prudhoe Place. In 1973 this was part of a pub called the Farmer's Rest, and this additional building was later demolished in the early 1990s.

In the 1950s the Bruce Building was compulsorily purchased from the brewery for the extension to King's College, part of the University of Durham, which later became Newcastle University. It has since been used by the university.

In 2010 there is a project taking place to further research the history of the building.[11]

OwnerNewcastle University

The Fine Art Building is home to one of the longest established centres for fine art education in the UK.[18] Funds for the construction of the building were endowed by a local mine owner, Dr John Bell Simpson.

The building includes a tower with a double-arched gateway that has become a symbol of the University. The Latin inscription above the entrance reads:

In pious memory of His Most Serene Majesty King Edward the Seventh the heaven-inspired champion of peace on earth in 1910 John Bell Simpson saw to the building of this school, a home for the refined arts.

In 1923 a bronze statue of King Edward VII was installed in the niche above the King's Road entrance. The wrought iron gates are now rarely closed, and were once guarded by a porter whose lodge was built into the southern side of the tower. The lodge (now demolished) served as a guard-room when the art school was requisitioned as a military hospital in the First World War. Examination dates and results are made public in the Arches.[19]

In order to increase the range of artwork that could be accommodated, and to provide room for a lecture theatre, the building was extended in the 1960s. The extension was officially opened on 18 April 1968, by the Lord Gardiner. Claremont Tower, Claremont Bridge and the Daysh Building were also opened on the same day; a plaque which commemorating the openings is located outside of Claremont Tower.
