Conference is based at the Medway Campus in Chatham, Kent. The Medway Campus is home to "Universities at Medway" – a unique partnership which has brought together the University of Greenwich, the University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University and Mid-Kent College at this shared site. Home to HMS Pembroke Royal Naval Barracks from 1903 to 1984, these splendid historic buildings have recently benefited from a £50 million investment which has restored for modern use the former glory of majestic buildings like the naval drill hall and the Pilkington Building, where Conference will be based.
Accommodation
The halls of residence are based on the Medway Campus – less than a five minute
walk from the Pilkington Building where all morning events are being held. The
campus itself is a ten minute bus journey from Chatham Station which has a
regular service to London. All rooms are en suite with shared kitchen
facilities.
Access
If you have specific access or other needs, please tell us in advance.
