RICS 150th anniversary

RICS 150th anniversary

2018 marks the 150th anniversary of RICS. In order to celebrate this milestone, we have launched two initiatives that highlight the achievements of the profession and demonstrate its importance to society, both in the past and in the future.

In addition, we have opened an exhibition at our HQ on Parliament Square, London. The exhibition - called 'Shaping the World, Building the Future' - offers a rare opportunity to see first-hand the positive impact and significant contribution that surveyors all over the world have made to society over the last 150 years. As part of the celebrations, our iconic HQ - built in 1899 - has been recreated in Lego.
