Background

History

Founded in 2006, Culture Lab provides an environment for academics and practitioners to work beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries, and offers access to specialist digital technologies for a diverse range of creative, practice-led research. Situated in a Grade II listed building (the Grand Assembly Rooms on King's Walk, Newcastle), Culture Lab houses open-plan research areas, and dedicated performance, electronics, workshop, multimedia and sound spaces.

Description

The Grand Assembly Rooms is a Grade II listed building and was built in 1889. Prior to being used by the Culture Lab, the building was listed on 4 August 2000 and was then used as the University PE and Fitness Centre. The building was designed by Lamb and Armstrong of Newcastle and was included as a listed building for being a "good surviving Victorian public building, with particularly fine if eroded stone decoration on its principal façade, and an excellent range of internal fixtures".
