context_page_description: Lancaster University is a collegiate public research university in Lancaster, Lancashire, England. The university was established by royal charter in 1964, one of several new universities created in the 1960s.
  The university was initially based in St Leonard's Gate in the city centre, before moving in 1968 to a purpose-built 300 acres campus at Bailrigg, 4 km to the south. The campus buildings are arranged around a central walkway known as the Spine, which is connected to a central plaza, named Alexandra Square in honour of its first chancellor, Princess Alexandra.
  Lancaster is a residential collegiate university; the colleges are weakly autonomous. The eight undergraduate colleges are named after places in the historic county of Lancashire, and each have their own campus residence blocks, common rooms, administration staff, and bars.
  Lancaster is ranked in the top ten in all three national league tables, and received a Gold rating in the Government's inaugural Teaching Excellence Framework. The annual income of the institution for 2016-17 was £267.0 million of which £37.7 million was from research grants and contracts, with an expenditure of £268.7 million.
context_section_description: The university is building a ’Health Innovation Campus’ adjacent to the existing campus. The campus will create 2,000 jobs and boost the local economy by around £100 million. The £29.7 million contract for construction of the first building was awarded to BAM Construction in October 2017, and construction began in December 2017 and was completed in Summer 2020. The building is 80,000 square feet and required the construction of an access road with a junction to the A6.
