Tyneview Park is a large government office site in Benton, Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Tyneview Park is home to many departments of The Pension Service, a sector of the Department for Work and Pensions and HMRC.

Site

Built in the early 1990s and opened in 1995,^[1] the site is set back from Whitley Road, a major route through Benton with an access road leading south from Whitley Road into the main site. Initially, the site consisted of four main office blocks (lettered A - D) with a crèche facility and a restaurant block (with a small gymnasium). Each of the four office blocks is identical in structure. With three floors in total, each floor has office space to the north and south of the building, leaving a three-storey open space, known as an 'atrium'. These atria spanned the whole building, with glass windows on the roof and semi-darkened glass to the sides of the office spaces on each floor. Inside the atria, seating areas can be found along with vending machines. Stairs and lifts to the floors could be found to the east and west of each building. In 2002, work started on a new large building to the south of the site, which would house the new 'London Pension Centre', which would be known as 'J Block'. This new building was slightly different from its A - D predecessors, although having an atrium itself, it differed from the other blocks by having open office space looking onto the atria rather than having glass walls. The building opened in 2004. In 1996, Tyneview Park was awarded the 'Quality in Urban Design' award by the Royal Town Planning Institute.^[1]

The site borders on the Coach Lane Campus of Northumbria University to the west, a DSA test centre to the north west, the 'Blue Flames' clubhouse to the north east and the Newcastle United F.C. training ground to the south. The East Coast Main Line can be found to the east of the site also, with the Newcastle to Edinburgh stretch of the line.

Tyneview Park is made up of departments solely from The Pension Service with centrally based 'centres' located here, supporting the network of regional Pension Centres across the country. The main centres at Tyneview Park are:
