The upper floors of the library also offer stunning views over the city, including Canterbury Cathedral.
A place to relax
Augustine House has plenty of breakout spaces for those moments between your study and research. It has a great cafe with snacks and drinks and the whole building is fully wif-fi enabled.
A sustainable building
