THE ESTATE AND ESTATES DEPARTMENT
Brayford Campus – The Campus is located on a former railway marshalling yard which had become largely derelict by the 1970s. The site was remediated by the County Council in the 1990s and the Brayford Way flyover constructed which improved access to the site. The first building was constructed in 1996 (Minerva Building). Since then a modern city centre campus has been constructed, which blends new buildings with the sympathetic restoration of two Victorian railway buildings –a goods warehouse (the University Library building) and Engine Shed (Students’ Union building). The University has recently opened a purpose-built facility to house the Lincoln Medical School which will be carbon neutral in operation – the first building of its kind in Lincolnshire. Riseholme Park Campus – This is a 400-acre campus to the north of Lincoln set in designated historic parkland devoted primarily to agricultural research. The site is home to the Lincoln Institute of Agri- food Technology (LIAT), a Barclays Eagle Lab and various agri-tech SMEs. It is also home to a working farm, and the newly acquired Lawress Hall, recently refurbished for Professional Service departments to relocate. Holbeach Campus – The Holbeach campus is c.50 miles to the south of Lincoln and is currently comprised of four buildings: Minerva House and the National Centre for Food Manufacturing (NCFM) on Park Road and on the Food Enterprise Zone (FEZ) – the newly completed Centre of Excellence for Agri-Food Technology and Institute of Technology.
