The Bridge Advanced Engineering R&D Centre is a collaborative scheme funded by the European Regional Development Fund, Greater Lincolnshire LEP and University of Lincoln.
We are growing our new home…
Check out plans for our new building
Located in the heart of Lincoln, adjacent to the University campus and the Lincoln Science and Innovation Park, The Bridge is already at the forefront of advanced engineering research. The new building will incorporate additional laboratory infrastructure, testing and analysis capabilities and a training and innovation centre to enable us to provide for materials research across Lincolnshire and beyond.
New Laboratories
Wet lab with walk-in fume hoods
Dry lab for sample processing
Materials testing and analysis
Clean room environment
Data processing environment
Analytical provision
Advanced transmission electron microscopy
Scanning electron microscopy
Atomic force microscopic analysis
Tribology and more
Complements our existing, comprehensive analytical suites
Main Building Features
The Bridge’s new home will incorporate purpose-built analytical labs, focused around development and characterisation of functional new materials. With a focus on surface analysis and material performance and interaction, we are creating an environment to benefit businesses across multiple sectors. The building will include a meeting/training suite and innovation lounge, making The Bridge the place to develop new collaborative research projects.
New Capabilities
The University of Lincoln has cutting edge research centres at the interface of chemistry and engineering with significant provision in synthetic methodologies, analytical sciences, including elemental analysis, mass spectrometry & molecular spectroscopies, as well as advanced materials processing and manufacturing. The Bridge makes available state-of-the-art transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy in bespoke, dedicated environments. Coupled with wet and dry labs, a clean room and a mechanical testing area, The Bridge enables internationally-competitive research in a collaborative environment
