Fantastic experience for our bricklaying students

We are pleased to highlight a site visit planned for a Victorian listed building - built in 1882 for the South Shields Poor Law Union – which will now play a central role in the new South Tyneside College and South Shields Marine School.   A classic example of preserving heritage while shaping the future of education and high street regeneration.   The visit, on May 29, by members of G4C North East will be led jointly by Castle as Principal Contractor and Architect and Lead Designer, GSSArchitecture. It will focus on the building refurbishment with an opportunity for a short tour of the wider main campus development as part of the South Tyneside College relocation.   This project is a partnership between Tyne Coast College and South Tyneside Council delivered by Castle, and funded by Tyne Coast College, The North East Combined Authority as part of North East Mayor Kim McGuinness' drive to revitalise high streets, the Department for Education and UK Government.   To learn more about the site tour, please visit: https://lnkd.in/ebg-FR9P Chris Meadowcroft Matt Keating Christopher Nixon Constructing Excellence in the North East
