1957-8 by W.B. Edwards & Partners, which houses the Schools of English and Classics, including the Greek Museum. Part of post-war master plan. Officially opened 10th October 1858 by Professor J Dover Wilson. The building was named after Lord Eustace Percy, the first Rector of King's College 1937-1953. Over the door is a shield with the Percy lion. The three shields facing down the Quad nearest the Old Library are King's College/University of Newcastle; the College of Medicine and University of Durham.

Attached to the rear of the listed Old Library Building. A plain extension of 1959 by Easton & Robertson, Cusdin, Preston & Smith, part of the post-war master plan.

1964 by W.B. Edwards & Partners. Slate-clad auditorium with a greenhouse on the roof. Complements the nearby Herschel building.

Now the School of Chemistry, Planned 1939 completed stage 1 1949 and stage 2 1959 by W.B. Edwards & Partners. Simple modern design of four storeys, the top one recessed behind a canopy roof. Named the Bedson Building in 1983 after P P Bedson, Professor of Chemistry 1882-1921. The building also houses part of the Geology Department.

University theatre of 1970 by William Whitfield, with a green roof. Officially opened 29th November 1970 by Esther McCracken. The main theatre was paid for by an anonymous donor; the smaller Gulbenkian Studio was paid for by the Gulbenkian Foundation., The old theatre, known initially as the University Theatre, was the successor to the old Playhouse on Benton Bank. Part of university in a physical sense it is an independent concern. Now refurbished.

The most striking of all the university buildings. Completed in staged by Sir Basil Spence for the Physics Department. Officially opened 16th March 1962 by Professor PMS Blackett. The Lakeland slate-clad Curtis Auditorium fans out in a cantilever towards the Haymarket. Behind it is an eight storey block faced in darker slate. The ground floor is recessed with dark piers, the second floor with white piers. The parapet is defined by slits, set back behind which is the penthouse. Spence is said to have got his inspiration for the towering east end of the block from the Keep giving yet another castle. On the forecourt of granite setts is a tall metal sculpture by Geoffrey Clarke, 1962.

MEA House was listed Grade II in 2015.
By Ryder & Yates for MEA Trust (Mungo Campbell, Esther McCracken and Alastair Fife). Community Services Building. Completed in 1974, the first purpose-built British building to house a range of charitable services. Height was restricted to that of the adjacent early C19 terraces. The main floors hang from four main girders set at roof level, with nine steel yokes acting as roof trusses. The main block is mirror glass-clad with three service towers. A long east ramp leads to a pedestrian deck system. A wide west curve of brick envelops an auditorium. The building's juxtaposition with the C19 houses of Ellison Place is 'less happy' but on a good day one can see the sharp reflections of the brick houses in the glass wall. Rutter Carroll - on the ground floor there was a curved auditorium, a kitchen, waiting room, office, pram store, workshops and library. There was a penthouse with a curved roof. The structural system of the building, with its virendeel trusses, suspended floors etc was unique. The interior had movable partitions to create a flexible space. The main elevations were clad in Corning mirror glass, imported from Pittsburgh, in aluminium frames. The concrete gable end walls were faced in a glass aggregate resin finish. Brown brindle brick was used on the ground floor, inside and out. The roofing felt was aluminium faced. Internal finishes were simple - PVC tiled floors, painted plaster walls and acoustic tiled suspended ceilings. The building was awarded a RIBA Commendation in 1976 and a Civic Trust Award in 1979. Rutter Carroll describes MEA House as 'one of Newcastle's finest modern buildings' and 'one of the centre's best pieces of townscape'. Stephen Gardiner wrote in 1976: 'MEA House is so sharp and shiny, so powerful and bright, that it assumes complete command of the square, and becomes the focus of it. The other buildings withdraw like embarrassed shadows. A real competition winner'. The building was refurbished by Ryders in 2000. In January 2015 the building was awarded Grade II listing status as part of a thematic assessment by English Heritage of later 20th century commercial offices dating from 1964-1994. It was designated for its engineering and architectural interest as well as its accessibility, degree of survival and social context. It is still a community services building.

1966-8 by Sir Basil Spence, Glover & Ferguson. Five storeys. Main entrance at first floor level from the raised deck of Princess Square. This square and footbridge network was seen to be a solution to city centre traffic. The lowest floor is really a basement alongside John Dobson Street. The floors above are hidden by concrete fins, behind which the windows are set back behind balconies, to allow light but not glare to filter through. Rain has streaked the concrete with black but in sympathetic light it still looks like a 'fine example of the public architecture of its time'. The interior has been rearranged to meet changing needs and has thus lost much original detail. Replaced in 2007-9 by a glass-walled library by Ryder.

Killingworth Township lies north and west of the old village. Not an official post-war New Town, it was (in 1991) an independent settlement of 8,518 people planned in the 1960s for a population of 20,000. In 1960 the Ministry of Housing and Local Government gave the County Council approval to develop 'an unsightly area of land'. Longbenton Urban District Council was the housing authority. The architect planner was R.J.A. Gazzard. The lynchpin of the layout is an artificial lake (HER 9484) crossed by a main access road. North of the lake is a 'rigid box' of public and commercial facilities within a long loop of distributor road. From here there is a network of houses. There is an industrial estate west and south of the lake near the railway. The linked blocks of concrete deck-housing were demolished in 1989. More houses have been built since 1970 and a supermarket.

Centrepiece of a linear concrete estate of four-storeyed blocks of flats and maisonettes. Derwent Tower was built between 1968-1970 and was designed by Owen Luder Associates as part of the Ravensworth Estate (HER16109). It is a 29 storey point block of 196 flats. It is shaped like a cog with a narrow stem-like base, set within a large concrete basin designed to overcome the potential problem of floodwater from the River Team. The whole is supported by large fin-like buttresses.The weight of the completed tower was calculated at 23, 000 tons. The design is unique in Britain. Known locally as 'The Rocket'.By 2007 there were only 40 people living in the tower following several decades of decline. It was turned down for listing in 2009. Recorded 2010 ahead of demolition.
