Multimillion-pound plans to create a science quarter in Newcastle have been unveiled admit claims they will transform the city's skyline.

Multimillion-pound plans to create a science quarter in Newcastle have been unveiled admit claims they will transform the city's skyline.

Science City, on the former Scottish and Newcastle Brewery site, will be a centre for research and development.

The £700m joint project by the city council, Newcastle University, and One NorthEast also aims to create up to 5,000 jobs.

Its centrepiece, a 30-storey skyscraper, will be surrounded by a series of public spaces and walkways.

There will also be family homes, student accommodation, shops and bars on the site.

Peter Arnold, chief executive of Newcastle Science City, said: "Our vision is to make Newcastle Science City one of the world's premier locations for science, business and economic development.

"We have an unrivalled development opportunity and, coupled with the scientific excellence right here in Newcastle, our potential for a successful science quarter is among the best in Europe."
