Newcastle Helix

Newcastle Helix

Newcastle Helix brings together academia, the public sector, communities, and business. We are creating a global centre for urban innovation in the heart of the city.

We are developing Newcastle Helix together with Newcastle City Council and Legal and General.

Key aims

The Helix fulfils three key functions for us:

  1. The site itself is a living laboratory. Projects and experiments run at scale, in real time. Infrastructure, urban planning, data, and ageing are themes of our research at Helix.
  2. By locating alongside businesses, we close the gap between academic research and commercial innovation.
  3. New buildings increase our capacity for research, education and engagement.
