Sunderland's National Glass Centre would cost £45m to repair with structural issues dating back to 1998

Structural issues at Sunderland's National Glass Centre (NGC) would cost around £45m to repair, the University of Sunderland has confirmed.

A recent external review of the building, commissioned by the University, discovered that a multi-million pound investment would be needed to address structural issues, including £14m to repair the roof of the riverside structure.

The University, which has owned the NGC since 2010, said repairs would cost in the region of £45m and structural problems have been ongoing since the building opened in 1998. It added that the problems will continue and grow as time goes on.
