Newcastle College is a Further Education and Higher Education college. It has a complex history, being an amalgamation of various colleges and training providers. The college is a part of a larger corporation called NCG (formerly the Newcastle College Group) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcastle_College . The stone-faced building is Rye Hill House, built in 1840: originally a house, then a hospital, now part of Newcastle College. It is Grade II listed https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1024764 - although this hasn't prevented it being effectively "wrapped" on three sides by ultra-modern steel and glass buildings.
