Work On £30m University Of Lincoln Science Centre Complete
Work on a new £30 million science teaching and research centre at the University of Lincoln is now complete.
The Isaac Newton Building was delivered by Pick Everard, Maber Architects, BAM Construction and Yonder as part of the University's investment in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
The 8,000m2 scheme sits as an extension to the existing Engineering Hub at the city centre Brayford Pool campus.
Features include new engineering, testing and research facilities including Electromagnetic Capability (EMC) rooms and semi anechoic chambers as well as laser labs, virtual reality spaces for computer sciences, robotic teaching spaces, and a 500-seat lecture theatre.
Shirley Ashford, associate at Pick Everard, said: "This project was completed in two phases and has created a new home for the university’s schools of computer science, engineering and maths and physics – transforming the site and creating a modern, state-of-the-art centre for generations of students to benefit from.
"We delivered quantity surveying services to complete the 8,000m² building – which sits as a major extension to the existing Engineering Hub at the Brayford Pool campus in Lincoln city centre. The Engineering Hub also required remodelling to allow for this addition, whilst remaining fully operational which was successfully managed."
Simon Parkes, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Finance and Infrastructure) at the University of Lincoln, said: "We're delighted with the completed Isaac Newton Building and grateful to our contractors for their professionalism and quality of work, which is reflected throughout.
"The building, which represents an investment of almost £30 million, is the first major project to be completed from our current £130 million capital investment programme which will deliver state-of-the-art new academic buildings and facilities for our students, staff and industry partners across our campuses.
"We are sure our students and staff will be impressed with the finished building and very much look forward to hosting the first teaching sessions."
