Hartlepool College was the winner of this year’s Newcastle Hub 2022 Student Challenge, which saw three teams compete on a task based on building specialist accommodation.
Teams from Hartlepool College, Gateshead College and RE:geon were challenged to construct six one-bedroomed, self-contained flats over two floors for people with learning disabilities and/or autism. Entrants had to consider wheelchair use for the ground floor flats, car parking spaces for six cars and a communal garden.
