Parsons provided the turbo alternators for the UK's first nuclear power station at Calder Hall in Cumbria in 1954. Gibb was knighted in 1945 and was awarded the FRS (Fellow of the Royal Society) in 1946. A hall of residence at Northumbria University is named after him.

This forms a sheath which covers a large strutted structure and wraps around two reinforced concrete concert halls which sit above an education and conference centre. There are high wide porches at west and east ends. The Sage is the home of the Northern Sinfonia Orchestra and Folkworks traditional music and dance organisation. The large concert hall holds 1650 people, the small one 450 people. The balustrade is a curving glass screen by Kate Maestri in blue and green.
