About this Event

Generation 4 Change (G4C) North East alongside Castle and GSSArchitecture invite you to a site visit of the refurbishment of the Grade II Listed 16 Barrington Street.

Originally built in 1882 for the South Shields Poor Law Union, 16 Barrington Street is a Victorian landmark being transformed into modern offices for South Tyneside College and South Shields Marine School — preserving heritage while shaping the future of education and high street regeneration.

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.

The visit will be led jointly by Principal Contractor Castle and Architect and Lead Designer GSSArchitecture, with a focus on the listed building refurbishment. There will also be an opportunity for a short tour of the wider Main Campus development as part of the South Tyneside College relocation.

Numbers for site tour: 15

Requirements: Full PPE (including hard hat, boots, glasses, gloves and high-vis top)
