The non-polytechnic part of Newcastle's further education sector is to be centred on a site abutting the Charles Trevelyan Technical College, a new building (1964) with a 1967 extension, about a mile and a quarter from the civic centre and polytechnic campus. To a point nothing could be more fitting. For Charles Trevelyan is a college deep within the traditional role of median-level further education with a technical bias. Indeed Mr J. H. Innes, the principal, not only does not duck the word ‘technical’ in the college's title; he is proud of it. With only 77 full-time students against 3200 day students, and almost 1100 evening-only students the college is among the top half-dozen building colleges in the country and as such has previously undertaken work up to Higher National Certificate in building.
