Engineering for the Future
The Stephenson Building has been the driving force of engineering at Newcastle University for 70 years. The new building will be a living legacy to the engineers who made our modern world.
The next generation of engineers
The Stephenson Building has a long history of training engineers that do great things, from building post-war Britain to developing biomedical engineering solutions. Since the 1940s, it’s been the home to more than 25,000 engineering students.
With a global population of 8 billion people, the world now faces a climate emergency. We need a new generation of engineers to create:
- cleaner technologies
- smarter cities
- advanced medical technology
Our new Stephenson building will be a home to engineers making the world a better and healthier place to live.
Stephenson: a collaborative community hub
The redeveloped Stephenson building will be the place for future engineers, researchers, designers, and visionaries to work together to tackle world challenges.
A community of collaborative action
The site will offer Newcastle’s engineering community the infrastructure needed for new:
- types of teaching
- types of research
- forms of partnership
