Established in 1889, the Liverpool Guild of Students is the student union of the University of Liverpool, one of the six original “red brick” civic universities in the UK. The Guild (as it is commonly shortened) serves the 17,000 students of the university and has its own building that houses restaurants and bars, administrative offices, meeting rooms, and a music hall. The Guild also organizes the over 170 societies for different communities of interest.
This past September, after and 18-month renovation and £13.8-million-investment, the Guild reopened its building designed by Nomad RDC and featuring a new identity by Liverpool-based Smiling Wolf.
