Our new Library & Health Sciences Building

TLDRoffon

Our new, modern library is at the heart of our campus. It links to the ground floor of Fry and Grey and provides office space for academic staff right above the library.

As well as the library, this new space provides IT resources and the Academic Skills Hub, with all of these in the same place for the first time at Avery Hill campus.

In the library, you'll find: 

We have 5 bookable group study rooms, 2 silent study areas and an open access IT lab. There are also spaces where you can bring your own device and study.

  • A lap safe self-service loan system​
  • 61 IT workstations​
  • 4 IT Open Access study spaces, one of which is a silent space​
  • 5 group study rooms​
  • A dedicated space for journals​
  • An Academic Skills Hub​
  • 2 vending machines, water drinking fountain (awaiting installation) ​
  • Toilets

For extra security, entrance to the library will be by card access only as we are also following the government Covid-safe guidelines to ensure you have a safe environment to work in.

On the first floor of this great new building there is a modern open-place space which will provide office space for our Academic staff.

Watch a timelapse of the construction

It was only in March this year when the building started to take shape. It's almost hard to imagine the space without our new building now. The timelapse video below shows how the 32 modular sections were installed, and how our new Library & Health Sciences building took its place at the heart of our campus.

Share your pictures with us: Tell us why you love Avery Hill

We want you to show us around the new library spaces, inside the clinical skills labs, enjoying our green spaces or any space on campus and tell us why you love Avery Hill.  Tag @UniOfGreenwich on social media, and use #AveryHillImprovements or get in touch with Internal Communications.  

If you'd like to be part of a small group showcasing our Avery Hill campus on the portal, Internal Communications would also like to hear from you.

Reporting issues:

We know that quite a lot has changed since many of us were last on campus, so some things might not work exactly as expected. If you find things that aren't working then please let us know by Logging a Facilities Request. We'd much rather know about it (even if that's more than once) and be able to fix it, than not know at all.
