The University of Newcastle has unveiled plans for new student accommodation in the city.
The university purchased a two hectare site on the corner of Worth Place and Civic Lane from the state government in 2018.
Plans have now been revealed for a nine storey building on the site which will become home to 450 students.
The project will also feature outdoor communal spaces and ground-floor shops.
The building is scheduled for completion in 2026.
