19 August 2022 Minister of Education visits Lincoln University

On Wednesday 17 August Lincoln University was delighted to welcome Minister of Education, Hon. Chris Hipkins MP, onto the campus.  Vice-Chancellor, Professor Grant Edwards and Chancellor, Bruce Gemmell took the Minister on a tour of the campus and they spent some time at the construction site of our flagship science facility, a fit-for-future learning and research space that will be located within a bio-diverse park-like environment.  Lincoln is working on the project in partnership with Leighs Construction Ltd.  Learn more about the new development here.

Grant and Bruce also had the pleasure of showing Minister Hipkins through some of the completed projects in our Campus Development Programme, including Grounded, LU Gym and Science South.

The Minister was also treated to a tour of the Science North construction site, where LU's Wayne Lawson and Leighs Construction's Simon Chambers explained the layout and features of the new building.
