Lincoln’s School of Engineering was the first dedicated facility of its kind to be created in the UK in more than two decades, welcoming its first students in 2011. The result of a pioneering collaboration between University of Lincoln and Siemens, it has won a series of national awards and accolades as an example of how industry and academic can work together, including a prestigious Lord Stafford Award.

The expansion of the Engineering Hub provides additional training spaces and offices for Siemens, as well as new academic spaces for staff and students. The shared facilities further consolidate the unique partnership between the University of Lincoln and Siemens.
