The developmental phases of the build have been an incredible journey, encompassing everything from sustainability choices to Newark architectural typology, aviation influences and infrastructure challenges. With a coordinated effort the various teams have moved the project on leaps and bounds. This thought-provoking discussion highlighted the project's innovation.
Jasmine Craft, Project Manager at Lincoln College Group, said: "The ASI project addresses the shortage of skilled professionals in the aviation and space industries, which have struggled to attract, educate, and retain qualified individuals necessary for the anticipated growth in these sectors.

Nick Petit, Director of Estates at the Lincoln College Group, said: "Amongst construction challenges the various teams have adapted tremendously. After navigating through significant changes throughout the different phases of the project, we are now on the verge of witnessing the realisation of our vision, with the completion of the build just within reach."
