Although campus is central to Lincoln, it’s extremely large and is made up of 29 buildings. I wanted to give a quick rundown of the main ones that might be part of your timetable!
Minerva Building (MB)
Named after the Roman goddess of wisdom, the Minerva building is central to the Brayford side of campus. It’s home to the Student Support Centre, ICT Service Desk and the Library Learning Lounge. Most courses can be booked into having lectures or seminars in this building.
Alfred Tennyson Building (ATB)
Named after the English poet born in Somersby, Lincolnshire, the Alfred Tennyson building is opposite the Minerva building and is home to media-related courses. There are editing suites, photography studios, television, radio and sound equipment all available on hand for those on relative courses. It’s also home to many arts courses like BA English, etc.
Stephen Langton Building (SLB)
Named after the Lincolnshire-born cardinal and Archbishop of Canterbury, the Stephen Langton building is home to the College of Arts executive office. It’s located between ATB and the Health Centre. Despite this, anyone can book the main conference room and is even open to the public during events.
Bridge House (BH)
Bridge House is located opposite Cygnet Wharf block A (the other side of the flyover) and is home to the College of Social Sciences, Lincoln Law School, School of Education and School of Social and Political Sciences. Again, despite this, anyone can book the main lecture room.
