Introduction

Newcastle University Business School's vision to become a world-class institution is one step closer with the move into our new facilities at Downing Plaza.

This state of the art single-site complex, with a striking steel and glass structure designed by Ian Simpson Architects will unite the Business School's world-class research, teaching, enterprise and innovation activities under one roof.

The new School is located at the centre of business and commercial development in Newcastle and will provide a stunning gateway to Newcastle's Science City, an ambitious science education and commercial hub in Newcastle city centre.

Both the building's central location and unique flagship design will consolidate the School's first class reputation and provide opportunities to develop and strengthen relationships between staff and students, as well as facilitating collaborative links between the School and the wider business community.
