MEA House


MEA House on Ellison Place in Newcastle was constructed from 1972-1974. It is thought to be the first purpose-built building to house multiple community service organisations under a single roof - reflecting the growing force of the 'third sector' in the 1970s. The building was designed by Ryder & Yates and has an innovative design using Vierendeel truss structure that dispenses with the need for supporting columns. MEA house had been on the 'Local List', then in 2015 it was added to the National Heritage List for England as a Grade II listed building.
