The workshop part of the site is now the first building in the UK to achieve an ‘Outstanding’ rating from BRE Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM), the world-leading benchmark for sustainability in building design.

The new building has been the result of a partnership between the Lincolnshire County Council and established Lincoln-based commercial and residential developer Taylor Lindsey.

The Teal Park development is expected to attract £500 million of investment over the next 10 to 15 years and create up to 4,000 jobs.

Councillor Colin Davie, executive member for economic development says: “Congratulations to Bowmer and Kirkland, which has designed and built a building that is sympathetic to our community.

“Bowmer and Kirkland’s sustainable design and construction for the new Siemens building has truly reflected our overarching goal – to boost Lincolnshire’s economy without impacting its beautiful environment.”
