The Urban Sciences Building

The Urban Sciences Building is a flagship development housing the Newcastle University School of Computing Science. The surrounding landscape has been well thought out to provide A-grade study spaces and continue the high end feel of the Newcastle Helix project.

There are two areas where street furniture is used – on the roof terrace and at ground level in the immediate vicinity of the building. Of prominence are the benches and Squared picnic sets at ground level, as they feature an attractive two-tone colour leg design. For the benches, are standard anthracite grey was used while the inside of the legs was powder coated in bright colours, creating a subtle yet eye-catching splashes of colour at ground level.
