Newcastle University School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape

Newcastle University School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape is based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Housed in a Grade 2 listed building in the university quadrangle (built in 1913 to a design by WH Knowles and adjacent to the School of Fine Art by the same architect). Its history predates the establishment of the university.

History
From the second half of the 19th century the Northern Architectural Association developed architectural courses in conjunction with the RIBA. These were held as evening classes for articled pupils in the School of Fine Art at Armstrong College in Newcastle, the forerunner of King's College, then the Newcastle Division of Durham University. King's College was established in 1937 and subsequently separated by Act of Parliament in 1963 to form Newcastle University.
