The Medway campus is equipped with numerous study facilities, including an 8,000-square-foot lab, the Drill Hall Library, residential facilities, and a student hub.

Accommodation at Avery Hill and Medway is very close to their respective campuses, whereas students at Greenwich will have a 5 or 10 minute walk depending on which rooms are reserved.
