History
editFrom the second half of the 19th century the Northern Architectural Association developed architectural courses in conjunction with the RIBA. These were held as evening classes for articled pupils in the School of Fine Art at Armstrong College in Newcastle, the forerunner of King's College, then the Newcastle Division of Durham University.[3] King's College was established in 1937 and subsequently separated by Act of Parliament in 1963 to form Newcastle University.
