The Universities at Medway is a tri-partite collaboration between the University of Greenwich, the University of Kent and Canterbury Christ Church University, based at a shared campus in Chatham Maritime, South East England. Established in 2004, the campus occupies the former HMS Pembroke naval barracks, built between 1897 and 1902 on the cleared site of Chatham Convict Prison,[1] within the wider 340-acre Chatham Maritime development, a former Royal Navy site redeveloped from 1999.
