The building has been funded by the University of Lincoln, Lincolnshire County Council (including This is Art), the City of Lincoln Council, Lincolnshire Enterprise (£1.8 million), the East Midlands Development Agency, and Arts Council England. The consulting engineers were Ward Cole, who are situated off Carholme Road in Lincoln.
