Gateway to the Mournes

Everyone in the college is invited to visit the exhibition of plans and designs for the proposed Mourne Gateway Centre. The Centre is an innovative and exciting project to provide Newcastle with the long awaited swimming pool combined with: an InfoHub for all the local outdoor and environmental organisations; a sports hall; changing facilities for outdoor matches; a climbing wall; a hydrotherapy pool; lots more. Visitors to the exhibition have already suggested a cinema and ICT access and space for a youth club. The exhibition is on display on the balcony above the gym, and includes a folder of architect's plans. Innovative aspects of the project include: the self-cleaning reedbed to service the pool; the 'living roof' which will help minimise the visual impact; the careful design to maximise the impact of the fabulous views; the eco-friendly heating system etc. When you visit the exhibition, you will find a response sheet, and it is really important to the campaigners to have your views. You will also find a box in which to leave your completed sheet. Support for the project is being carefully documented by Newcastle 2000 and will be a huge help in finding support for the project.
