Social learning spaces
Our School fosters an environment of challenge and debate, which is why we have crafted social learning spaces throughout our School building, including a café and roof terraces.
The Exhibition Research Lab
The Exhibition Research Lab studies the history or exhibitions and the publishing of books. However, it is also used to exhibit student work and to teach curatorial practice. Our Centre attracts visitors from all over the world and was voted as one of the top 10 art venues in Liverpool by The Guardian.
Studio space
Our School has designated studio space for students to pursue their practice. The studio environment fosters a community of art and design activities and interchange of creative ideas between students.
