The Gas Council Engineering Research Station (ERS) was a former engineering research institute on Tyneside, situated in a distinctively-shaped and listed building, now occupied by the Metropolitan Borough of North Tyneside.
The modernist architecture is developed from Le Corbusier and Berthold Lubetkin.
It was Grade II* listed on 27 January 1997 by English Heritage (Historic England since 2015).
Nearby to the south was the former distinctively-designed headquarters, Norgas House, of the Northern Gas Board, also designed by Ryder & Yates, until North Tyneside agreed its demolition in 2012.
The research centre's first function was to design the pipeline system around the UK.
