Gaining momentum

Article Abstract:

Lincoln's rebirth is being driven by the University of Lincolnshire and Humberside, which has led to a boom in student accommodation and changed the character of the high street to a pub-led environment. Signs of the city's renaissance include a 3,228 sq mt call centre under construction for BT on a 11 ha business park to one side of the city centre. Other changes include the redevelopment of a former supermarket into a nine screen multiplex, with housing, pubs and wine bars.
