The University of Lincoln is an English university in Lincolnshire. It was founded in 1992, although its origins can be traced back to the foundation of the Hull School of Art 1861. The founding of the Brayford Campus in 1996 by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, further revitalised and elevated Lincoln. The Independent describes the university as "the best thing to happen to Lincoln since the Romans". There are further campuses in Riseholme, Holbeach and Hull. The University of Lincoln official crest bears the head of Minerva, the Ancient Roman goddess of wisdom and knowledge. The University of Lincoln is the newer of the two Higher Education institutions in Lincoln, the older being Bishop Grosseteste University College.
The University of Lincoln roots can be traced back to 1861. These can be traced back to a number of higher educational institutions in Hull, including the Hull School of Art (1861), the Hull Technical Institute (1893), Endsleigh College (1905), Hull School of Fishermen (1912), Hull Training College (1913) and the Hull Central College of Commerce (1930). The higher educational institutions north of the Humber, namely the Hull School of Art (1861), the Hull Technical Institute (1893), the Roman Catholic teacher training Endsleigh College (1905), Hull Central College of Commerce (1930) and Kingston upon Hull College of Education were merged in September 1976 to form the Hull College of Higher Education. In 1983 this institution became the Humberside College of Higher Education (HCHE) when it absorbed several courses in fishing, food and manufacturing which were running in Grimsby.
With another change of name to the University of Lincoln in October 2001, a new campus was built in Lincoln. The University of Lincoln moved its main campus from Hull to Lincoln in 2002. The consolidation involved the University acquiring Leicester-based De Montfort University's schools in Lincolnshire: the Lincoln School of Art and Design in uphill Lincoln, and the Lincolnshire School of Agriculture's sites at Riseholme, Caythorpe and Holbeach. Caythorpe was later closed permanently and its activities moved to Riseholme. Courses held in Grimsby were also moved to Lincoln around this time.
Throughout the late-1990s, the University of Lincoln sites in Hull were considerably scaled down as the focus shifted towards Lincoln. In 2001 this process was taken a step further when the decision was made to move the administrative headquarters and management to Lincoln and to sell the Cottingham Road campus in Hull, the former main campus, to its neighbour, the University of Hull - The site is now the home of the Hull York Medical School. The University of Lincoln still maintains a smaller campus, the Derek Crothall Building, in Hull city centre. A smaller campus and student halls on Beverley Road, Hull, were also sold for redevelopment. As a result of these changes, the 'Humberside' was dropped and the University of Lincolnshire and Humberside became the University of Lincoln. On 28 October 2004, following its redevelopment as a specialist Food science technology park, the campus at Holbeach was reopened by John Henry Hayes, the Member of Parliament for South Holland and the Deepings.
The University of Lincoln has expanded rapidly on the Brayford site since its opening in 1996. Buildings on the Brayford now include a School of Architecture designed by Rick Mather, a science laboratory facility, a sports centre, and a University of Lincoln library. The main administration building at the Brayford campus was initially designed with the proposed function of a showroom. The large, open atrium space is surrounded by balconies on several floors, with lecture halls on the ground floor with classrooms and support departments on the higher floors. The University of Lincoln also maintains several buildings of historic interest in uphill Lincoln (the "Cathedral" campus), including a building named after Chad Varah, founder of the Samaritans. At Riseholme, set amongst a 240 hectares (0.93 sq mi) estate and working farm is the former residence of the Bishop of Lincoln. The main building at the much-reduced campus in Hull has been renamed in honour of the late Professor Derek Crothall, a former Pro Vice Chancellor of the University of Lincoln.
In Lincoln, the University of Lincoln on-campus student accommodation, "The Student Village", is a waterfront complex situated near the university's academic buildings on the Brayford campus. There are 17 blocks of self-catering apartments, each apartment housing 5 to 8 students. Some apartments have specifically designed rooms for students with disabilities. The site has a range of facilities with a total of 1,037 bedrooms available. In 2005, the University of Lincoln halls of residence were leased to a charitable trust for a premium of £30 million. As part of the deal the university would forego the rent that they would have ordinarily received. Part of the £30m will be used to fund the future development plans.
Located in the Great Central Warehouse ("GCW") building, a renovated former industrial railway goods warehouse, the University of Lincoln Library was opened in December 2004 on the Brayford campus. There are smaller libraries at the University of Lincoln three branch campuses, Holbeach, Kingston-upon-Hull and Riseholme. In total, the university's four libraries house more than a third of a million items. The building has won several awards for its conversion from a derelict former railway grain-storage warehouse. The GCW was constructed in 1907 by the Great Central Railway. It spent the second half of the twentieth century as a builder's warehouse before falling in to disrepair in 1998. It was converted into a library (designed by the University's in-house team of architects) and was formally opened in 2004 by the chief executive of the UK's Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education. In 2005, the conversion won gold and silver for conservation and regeneration at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Regional Awards in Leicester. It has also gained awards from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).
