The University is tendering to appoint a single main contractor to design, supply, construct and fit out a new Net Zero Glasshouse research facility which requires an associated geothermal heating and cooling solution. The University of Lincoln has secured a grant funding contribution from the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership (GLLEP) for a glasshouse at its Riseholme campus to help demonstrate sustainable energy solutions in the horticultural sector.
