OUR CAMPUSES
Greenwich campus The university’s largest campus is at the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is centred on three baroque buildings designed by Sir Christopher Wren at the end of the 17th century. “More breathtaking than the Versailles of Louis XIV” is how it was described by The Independent. The University’s new award winning building in Stockwell Street is another interesting addition to our prestigious estate. This houses a purpose-built library and computing centre and a new home for the Faculty of Architecture, Computing & Humanities. Avery Hill campus Set in 86 acres of parkland in south-east London, Avery Hill Campus combines a listed Victorian mansion with a £14 million development with modern teaching, living and sporting facilities. A library is housed in the mansion’s elegant former ballroom. The student village offers en-suite, online facilities and is home to over 1,200 students. Medway campus The Medway Campus is a centre for teaching, research and consultancy, offering hi-tech facilities in science, engineering, pharmacy and natural resources. Business, IT, paramedic science and nursing are also taught here, along with speech and language therapy. The campus, which dates from 1903, is based in splendid redbrick and ivy-clad Edwardian listed buildings.
