Following a £14.25m refurbishment in 2013, it now contains a cinema, a theatre, a shop, two dance studios, four bars, a 2,300 capacity gig venue and an underground nightclub.

Liverpool Guild of Students has a long-established history in live music and has been providing a venue for events since the opening of its main room, the Mountford Hall, since 1965.

More recently the venue has seen shows from James, Scouting for Girls and 30 Seconds to Mars to name a few, in the main room and The Damned, Juliette Lewis and The Futureheads who have preferred the intimacy of the in-house theatre.

[10] Green Guild started in October 2013 encompassing a wide range of initiatives for embedding sustainability across the university community.

In 2015 the guild was a finalist when it entered the prestigious Green Gown Awards from the Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges (EAUC).

Three interrelated themes of Education, Engagement and Outreach were driven by three members of staff and included student leadership at each stage of the award.

The university’s students inspire a younger generation to live sustainably, with themed lessons worked into the curriculum and workshops on project management skills.

LGSM was launched by Beth Ure (the first secretary), with publishing led by Hannah Percival and Radio by Maddy Walker.

In 2008, although not officially organised by the Guild, Sphinx magazine was eventually replaced with the web based venture, LSMedia (Liverpool Student Media).

In 2011, under editor Matt Healy, LSMedia was shortlisted for a Guardian Student Media award under the category "Website of the Year".

[13] In 2012 the website was redesigned under editor Dani Telford and as readership grew, LSMedia decided to revive the print edition with a special one-off "The Sphinx" Newspaper paying homage to the society's origins.

The station in its lifespan has gone under many different identities, including XSLive (1998-2002) and ICON Radio (2002-2011), LSRadio (2011-2019), and was rebranded as Liverpool Guild Student Media in September 2019.

In November 2014, an investigation was launched into the activities of the Liverpool Medical Students' Society, following the release of a script for the annual 'Smoker' event, causing public controversy.

"[18] The LMSS responded, stating that its members had been threatened with formal 'Fitness to Practice' investigations if they did not co-operate,[19] a claim refuted by the guild.
