Giving each Newcastle campus building a personality: Would I date them?

From clapped to charming, here’s my insightful opinions on the Newcastle Uni buildings. Think smash or pass but with architecture x

Old Library Building – Grandma

via Google Maps

Look, I’m a languages student, so I am going to have to start with the place I spend the majority of my time. The Old Lib gives me grandma vibes for some reason, maybe its because it’s a bit run down and it always gives me breakfast sandwiches when I need them. I just love their hash browns.

Herschel Building – Creep

This building is a man, and he is sinister. Perhaps it’s the concentration of politics students and the large lecture halls that give ominous vibes. Would not date. Creep vibes.

Henry Daysh Building – Clever

The Henry Daysh, over hated I think and an underrated gem. I feel like the Henry Daysh is an intellectual, probably not someone I would date, but someone I would like to sit next to in an exam in school and copy off their work.

Armstrong Building – BNOC

via Google Maps

For some reason the Armstrong building gives me serious BNOC vibes. It’s just got so many twisty corners and weird turns that means I can never find my way even as a fourth year. But yet, she intrigues me. Please let me hang out with you Armstrong Building, I just want to be cool like you.

Philip Robinson Library- Ice cold

The Philip Rob gives me heart breaker vibes. They would string you along in a situationship for seven months and then move on to your best mate. Do they care? Absolutely not. They are as relaxed about breaking your heart as the library Café women are about making you scan your own sandwich (and secretly laughing that you’ve paid £8 pounds for a chicken baguette).

Barbara Strang- Ditsy

via Google Maps

Oh, Barbara. I’ve had Spanish, media and careers lectures in this building. It doesn’t seem to be dedicated to any subject at all. And to top it off, sometimes she has building work that means I cant access it. One wrong turn in this building and you end up in the dental school. I fear no one can date Barbara, as she’s still figuring out who she is. Hang in there Barbara, you’ll make it one day.

Student Union- Party animal

via Google Maps

If the SU has no fans, I am dead. Yeah its really hot inside and one time I got stuck inside one of the pods, but that won’t kill my love. I mean it has a Co-op, study spaces, a Spoons, and the weird downstairs space where it occasionally shoves a load of vintage clothes in. Plus, it has a weird space next door to Chicken Shack that I didn’t even know existed until this year! I just know the SU would go crazy on a Wednesday social, and I wish I could experience that in full.

Marjorie Library- Wife

via Google Maps

The best till last, the Marj. My love, my wife. The underrated little sister of the Philip Rob but with a bigger heart. She may not provide you with a café, but she provides so many sofas and chatty spaces. Say no more Marj, you’ve won me over. I’d pick you over Philip any day of the week.
