Art-deco building
Originally built in the 1930s for the General Electric company, this grand art-deco building now serves as a popular and modern choice for student accommodation in Newcastle. Outside, it’s worth looking up at the building now and then. You’ll see a series of terracotta panels that celebrate human energy and vigour - a small and beautiful piece of history. Back on the ground, there’s a Spar supermarket and Subway at the bottom of the building.
