Kingston Hill

The Kingston Business School building provides a home for Kingston Business School as well as modern teaching and learning spaces for everyone on campus.

The building incorporates many sustainable features including:

• rainwater harvesting
• a Sedum roof
• natural ventilation and low carbon energy use
• renewable energy generation through a ground source heat pump
• additional cycle stands.

The 300-seat Lawley lecture theatre is housed in an eye-catching glass building. Modern and spacious, it's the perfect venue for getting large numbers of business and law students together.

As well as regular student lectures, it's also a popular space for seminars held by business professionals who make use of the facilities during vacation times.

The lecture theatre is fully equipped with multimedia facilities. There is disabled access and it is fitted with an induction loop system.

As well as lecture theatres and other teaching spaces, there's a wide range of practical facilities in the Frank Lampl building.

Clinical skills laboratories

Our innovative clinical skills laboratories house all the equipment nursing and midwifery students need to simulate clinical practice, including clinical equipment and teaching mannequins. This gives students the chance to refine their skills before heading out into the real world.

Practice Learning Suite

The Practice Learning Suite is a purpose-built facility where social work students have the opportunity to learn and to practise key social work skills. All pre-registration social work students are required to undertake 30 days learning practice skills at Kingston University. Social workers undertaking continuing professional development courses develop their assessment and intervention skills and other skills such as mentoring, teaching and providing reflective supervision.

With its friendly atmosphere, Hannafords is the perfect spot to relax with friends. Students can watch live sports on plasma screens, play pool or enjoy a game on the bar's Wii console. The venue also hosts a variety of events, including comedy nights, live music, quiz nights, karaoke and club nights. Additionally, you can enjoy a hot drink, juice or grab a bite at the on-site Subway.

Coombehurst House, a Regency mansion on Kingston Hill, is home to the music department, blending old and new architecture with spacious lawns. It is well-equipped with pianos, percussion, and a large selection of amplification and performance equipment.

Students also have access to computers, electronic equipment, musical software and keyboards. The Visconti Studio features an analogue/digital hybrid setup, including vintage recording equipment and unique instruments like a Mellotron and Hammond organ. Additional teaching and practice rooms are located at Coombehurst Court, with two small recording studios at Coombehurst Lodge.

The Foodstore at Kingston Hill is the ideal place to take a break from your studies, whether you're looking for a quick snack or a full meal. As the main undergraduate canteen, it's a popular meeting point for groups of friends.

The Foodstore starts the day with a hot breakfast service, followed by a range of hot and cold lunch items (including cooked meals, salads and sandwiches). Freshly baked products, healthy snacks, speciality Fairtrade coffee, juices and soft drinks are available all day.

Postgraduate students looking for an alternative to the Foodstore can head to the Centenary Room to grab a bite to eat, which is reserved for postgraduates and staff.

Our students come from many different backgrounds, cultures and faiths. The University supports this diversity through its team of faith advisers.

The Faith and Spirituality Centre is at Penrhyn Road but there are regular drop-in events on other campuses.

At Kingston Hill there are two adjacent prayer rooms for women and men. The prayer rooms are open to all, but mainly used for Muslim prayer. There are also nearby washing facilities in Kenry House.
