From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lincoln College is a predominantly further education college based in the City of Lincoln, England.

The college also has sites in Gainsborough, and also in Newark-on-Trent in Nottinghamshire (since merging with the former Newark and Sherwood College in 2007 [1]).

The two branch sites are branded as Gainsborough College and Newark College respectively.

More than 11,000 students are enrolled across the three sites, making it one of the largest educational establishments in the county of Lincolnshire. The college closed its small fourth campus in Louth, Lincolnshire in 2005.

In 2006, Lincoln College acquired the site of a former Tradex cash and carry store. The college plans to make this into a multi purpose drama and music facility. The new building will be state of the art and include a full theatre and recording studios as well as rehearsal spaces. The project is being prepared and will be finished by the start of the 2007/2008 academic year.

Eight different buildings make up Lincoln College's main site, including the Abbey, Gibney, Sessions, Bishops and Cathedral Buildings. Bishops Building, located to the back of the site, is home to the technology school. This has the electronics courses located inside, including BTEC National Diploma Electrical and Electronic Engineering course.
