LSA Community Events

During the 2023/24 academic year the Liverpool School of Architecture celebrated two important anniversaries.

In March, we celebrated 100 years since RIBA validated its first architecture course at the University of Liverpool in 1924. With 235 programmes running across the globe, the validation programme has grown significantly over the last century. Today, RIBA validation is an evidence-based, peer review system working both nationally and internationally as a critical friend to schools of architecture, reviewing standards and relevance in today’s world, encouraging excellence, and ensuring a positive student experience.

Its was 10 years since the first students graduated from our 2+2 architecture program: starting their studies at XJTLU in Suzhou, China then coming to the LSA for 2 years to complete their degrees. This was a significant moment in the LSA’s long history as an international school. And, one which created exciting opportunities for staff and students, brought new staff, expanded facilities, and different ways of working and added to the rich diversity of the LSA.

Thanks

The Liverpool School of Architecture would like to thank the in-house project team of staff and students who put the programme together with the support of DART and the SotA events team.
