5 December 2016 Ongoing Lincoln insurance settlement delivers significant sum

Lincoln University and its insurers have agreed to a further $25 million partial settlement of its earthquake related insurance claims. 

This covers a further 96 assets including Lincoln’s iconic Ivey West Memorial Hall, which suffered significant damage in the 4 September 2010 earthquake.

It follows on from the $11.5m partial settlement reached back in September, which related to 140 mainly smaller buildings on the University’s Te Waihora campus.

This settlement is another significant step in enabling the University to move forward in its planning and campus refreshment.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Robin Pollard says this settlement is a good step forward in resolving its claims.

The University is continuing to work towards resolving its remaining claims.
