Welcome to the Architecture Society
Grenfell Baines institute of architectures is a student-led society for the people of University of Lancashire. We believe in the importance of collaborative working, being one community, and having a social and political agenda. The society provides a platform of opportunities, to support the engagement of students and generate networks within the university and Preston. Our approach is exploring buildings and places through guided tours or urbexing visiting abandoned and unused places, visiting architecture practices, sharing ideas, experiences, and knowledge with an open mind; helping each other as we are all here to pursue our path and emerge as young practitioners into the world.
Throughout the year, we will host events, workshops, and gatherings, stimulating the interaction between stages and courses. For Bs Architecture, we have organized visits and tours with the aim to create connectivity, encouraging interaction, and learning from the production of each other's work

Every year, our student groups elect a new committee to lead their group into the next academic year. Being part of a committee is a fantastic opportunity to get more involved in the community at the University of Lancashire, meet new people, and develop valuable skills that will enhance your CV. You can run for a position on the committee, provided you are a member of your group. Students elected through this process will begin their role on 1 August 2026 and serve until 31 July 2027. Could you be the next leader of your group?
