Waimarie Science North

Lincoln University has always been a chief driver of innovation in the land-based sector, and the new Waimarie Science North facility positions Lincoln to take an even more prominent role in developing solutions for the world’s most pressing environmental challenges.

Waimarie is a 9,450m² facility over three levels providing teaching and workspaces, meeting rooms and collaboration spaces. The research laboratories house physical containment facilities, molecular, microscopy and microbiology, invertebrate microbiology, insect pathology, field ecology and soil chemistry and research workshops, temperature control rooms and a fungal light bank room.

A strong focus has been placed on aligning the design with the sustainability goals of Lincoln University. The inclusion of PV panels to the north facing and east facing façades, in addition to the roof PV panels, reduces solar glare and increases comfort for building occupants. The ground source heat pump provides a sustainable heating and cooling solution. The building utilises a rainwater recycling system. The overall result of these and other items that have been incorporated in the design will result in a reduction in Whole of Life costs and a reduced carbon footprint for the Waimarie Science North Building over its lifetime.
