About LIPA - Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts
Paul McCartney's former school building, now transformed into a world-renowned performing arts university co-founded by McCartney himself in 1996. The Grade II listed building retains many original features from when both McCartney and George Harrison were students here. While it's an active campus, the exterior and entrance area showcase the building's musical legacy with historical plaques.
Insider Tips
You can view the impressive entrance hall and ground floor areas during weekday daytime hours when the building is open, but respect that it's a working institution with students and staff.
