Abstract: We study lattices acting on $mathrmCAT(0)$ spaces via their commensurated subgroups. To do this we introduce the notions of a graph of lattices and a complex of lattices giving graph and complex of group splittings of $mathrmCAT(0)$ lattices. Using this framework we characterise irreducible uniform $(mathrmIsom(mathbb{E}^n)imesT)$-lattices by $C^{a}st$-simplicity and give a necessary condition for lattices in products with a Euclidean factor to be biautomatic. We also construct non-residually finite uniform lattices acting on arbitrary products of right-angled buildings and non-biautomatic lattices acting on the product of $mathbb{E}^n$ and a right-angled building.
