PUPILS from Ulverston Victoria High School were getting experience of the building trade by visiting Furness College’s technology centre in 1993. College lecturer Pete Sadler was holding open ‘taster’ sessions where pupils could go down to the Channelside campus to try things like bricklaying. In July 1994 Ulverston Victoria High School fundraisers cleaned up £700 in a pram-pushing charity stunt to raise cash for a new minibus fitted with safety belts for pupils. The group of good-hearted school cleaners, helped out by a few friends, donned fancy dress to push their prams around a route which included along part of Ulverston Canal towpath.

It s no secret architects and interior designers have a direct hand in designing the future of our cities and homes. From the towering skyscrapers making up the most iconic cityscapes to the interiors of our own dwellings, designers play an integral role in ensuring the spaces we inhabit are functional, restorative, and beautiful.

Luckily, professional organizations, foundations, and firms offer handsome scholarships and mentorship opportunities for those looking to further their education and pursue degrees in the design field.
