You can view maps of both Augustine House and the Salomons Institute to help you navigate these spaces.
We understand that your study needs will differ throughout the academic year. We have four different study zones in Augustine House to help you find a space that suits your learning preferences.
The Silent Zones are on the second and third floors of Augustine House, on the same side as the lifts. These areas are for times when you need to work on your own in silence.
The Quiet Zones are available on the second and third floor, on the opposite side to the lifts. These are spaces to focus on your work. Most PCs and printers are in these areas.
On the first, second and third floors, you will also find six bookable group study rooms, each with a PC and large screen. You can use these rooms to collaborate, such as for group assignments or practising presentations.
You can book a group study room in Augustine House using MyBookings.
We have two bookable Group Study rooms, which both contain a long group table, PC and a large screen. These rooms are ideal for practising group presentations and projects. You can also plug in your own device.
These bookable rooms (DA004 & DA005) can be booked during 9:00 - 17:00 Monday to Friday for 2hrs.
You can book at the library reception with a valid university ID card or email dhlhelp@medway.ac.uk from your university email.
We also offer an Open Access study room (DA002) with two group tables and sofa-style seating for up to 6 people each and a smaller group table. This space contains PCs and large monitors. The room also has one super-size presentation screen.
This room is open during 9:00-17:00 Monday to Friday and is available on a first-come, first-served basis without any booking.
Access to all of these rooms on the ground floor is via the external door at the Pilkington end of the Drill Hall Library.
In Augustine House, all study spaces in the atrium are more relaxed and informal. You can use them for casual work or just to take a break from your studies. There are plenty of PCs and desks here, and there is also access to an outdoor terrace from the back of the second floor.
Help keep the spaces neat and tidy by disposing of all litter responsibly. Please recycle all your rubbish using the bins provided.
