The Common Room

The Common Room is a charity formed in 2017 to restore the Grade II* listed Neville Hall in Newcastle upon Tyne (home to The Mining Institute since 1872), and its significantarchive and collectionsdocumenting centuries of engineering, mining and wider scientific innovation.Thanks to National Lottery players, an £8.9m grant has enabled us to spend over £7 million restoring the building, and around £2m to support our running costs, preserve ourcollections, and to drive our mission: to use our unique heritage to inspire the next generation of innovators and engineers. We do this by running a range ofeventsandprogrammesfor the public, families, schools and industry, celebrating the North East's industrial past and present, and looking towards our future.The Common Room is also available forhire for private events, includingconferences,lectures,weddingsandgigs, and is complete with its own cafe bar,5|Quarter.
