The most dynamic addition to the University of Lincoln’s thriving campus at Brayford Pool is the £6million restoration of the Engine Shed. Constructed in 1874 by Great Northern Railways, the Engine Shed is the only surviving four-track, dead-end railway building in Lincolnshire. Disused since the 1960s, the building has been transformed into a dynamic new Students Union Centre and Lincoln’s biggest live music venue. The new facility forms the social heart of the Greater Brayford Quarter. The building has transformed nightlife in Lincoln beyond all recognition, both for students and the public.
