Lincoln College
Ultimate (Commercial Interiors) Ltd was delighted to be part of the project team for Lincoln College’s new £1.6m Institute of Technology, located in one of the college’s oldest buildings on the Monk’s Road campus, the Grade II listed Gibney building. The institute’s mission is to deliver higher technical education with a focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) subjects and is a collaboration between Lincoln College, the University of Lincoln, and further education providers across Greater Lincolnshire. The facility also supports the healthcare sectors.
The interior scheme, designed by Core Architects, involved Ultimate working closely with Core and the Lincoln College project team to deliver a dynamic educational environment. Each learning area was carefully analyzed for its primary function, whether agile or fixed PC-based tutorials, and the furniture package reflected this with mobile workstations, active seating, and, in areas with power limitations due to the listed building status, Flex Mobile Power units. These sleek and smart mobile power chargers provide teams and individuals the freedom to work anywhere they want, offering a 218 watt-hour capacity and charging via three USB-C ports and one USB-A port.
Ultimate partnered with the main contractor, Gelder Group, to supply and install moss, brick effect, and timber slat/acoustic wall finishes, along with bespoke suspended metal rafts to house feature planting.
“The new Institute of Technology facility within our Grade II listed building at Lincoln Campus will be a fantastic facility for higher education students. Through the project, we have purchased cutting-edge specialist equipment to support the new STEM courses—they include virtual reality, 3D printing and laser cutting, robotics equipment for electrical engineering, and new electric cars within automotive areas. Ultimate’s furniture solution provides the final piece of the jigsaw as it allows the ability to facilitate optimal learning methods.”
