Our vision is to be the world’s leading integrated centre for built environment research and education, attending to the entire lifecycle of both buildings and infrastructure through our research and teaching.
We rely on Architects, Urban Planners, Construction Managers, Architectural Engineers and Civil Engineers to shape the world we live in, from the design of buildings resilient to climate change, through to the management of contractors during construction and the planning and maintenance of transport systems.
When you graduate, you are likely to be part of a team working on the planning, design, building and maintenance of infrastructure systems such as bridges, roads, railways and a variety of buildings such as skyscrapers, airports, hospitals or sports stadia worldwide. This requires an understating and appreciation of the various people and processes that contribute to the construction cycle, that you can only acquire by studying in an integrated School such as ours.
This interdisciplinary ethos also underpins research within the School, with colleagues undertaking research at the interface of subject boundaries or drawing upon each other’s expertise to provide new insights. This benefits our students when it comes to choosing their research projects. In addition to students being able to formulate their own project with academics from different fields, we are also able to advertise projects that innately span the knowledge base and technical skill sets of different professions in the built environment.
Day in the life of a First Year Architecture Student (Loughborough Uni)
A productive day in the life of a VERY busy architecture student! This lockdown vlog tells you all about what I get up to at uni during the restrictions, what I study, how much time an architecture course takes up, meals, and more! This is just a small insight into what I do every day and my weekly routine, I also show what equipment I use including my laptop.
I hope you all enjoy it!

LU-ARC Summer School 2019
"Food+Wood LU-ARC Summer School" is a workshop supporting Fruit Routes initiative by designing an Apple Store in Loughborough University campus. Students of architecture and art from Japan and the U.K. working together in teams to develop 6 proposals for the small pavilion building, which is meant to be a center for Fruit Routes activities, the university and for the local community.
The students are using tools of computational design and digital fabrication for their design and work closely with their Clients who are the founders of Fruit Routes and representatives of Loughborough community. The Final Review ended with selecting one of the projects, which will be built in full-scale in Hiroshima in November 2019.
The workshop was supported by Fruit Routes and is a collaboration of six universities: Hiroshima Institute of Technology, Kyushu University, The University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, Keio University and Loughborough University.

Elements Pavilion 2020
"Dance around Trees" pavilion was built by 1st Year architecture students (BArch) at Loughborough University. The pavilion is made of aluminum triangles that were bent to shape to make a cushion-like element, which was the basic component for the building envelope. The pavilion hosted a charity sale for Australian firefighters found. The building was disassembled after the sale and 98% of its components were recycled.
