archiGRAD Summer School

Today's xsite is Anna...

We are now 1 week into our archiGRAD Summer School here at xsite. The Summer School is a Newcastle University project, developed in partnership with Northern Architecture that provides office based experience for architecture students. It aims to help students at the beginning of their careers to improve their employability, get involved in office life and experience ‘real’ projects.  

As a host practice we now have 6 fresh enthusiastic faces, Adam, Emily, Kristina, Marta, Oleg and Rumen, wandering round the building currently getting to grips with some master planning in the High Bridge area of Newcastle. The students are with us a couple of days a week for 6 weeks over the course of the summer.
