Atkins provided architecture services for the Northumbria University City Campus East project which created new landmark buildings for the University and is a flagship for the principles of sustainability.

Our sustainable design and engineering of Northumbria University means that it is 40% more efficient than most other buildings of its type in the UK. The BREEAM excellent rated project features renewable energy sources, natural ventilation, rainwater recycling and more. It was built on a contained and derelict brownfield site and the new buildings contribute to the city's social and economic development. Atkins' Carbon Critical Design has been recognised by the industry winning a Constructing Excellence award, a CIBSE Low Carbon Performance award and a RICS award for Sustainability, Design and Innovation as well as Building of the Year 2008.
