  • Andrew Larkin and Dave Puplett Title: Boun
    Publication: Taking Stock – The Journal of the National Acquisitions Group Authors: Andrew Larkin and Dave Puplett Title: Bound Together: How 3 Universities share the remarkable Drill Hall Library Edition / Volume: Summer 2014 – Vol.23 / No.1 The Drill Hall Library is one of the many Grade 2 listed buildings on the Chatham Maritime campus of Universities at Medway. This legacy building, originally known as the Drill Shed, was completed around 1902 and was a key facility for the naval base, housing servicemen during WW1 and functioning as an indoor drill area during peacetime. In 1917 the building was bombed and 135 persons were tragically killed. A plaque outside the main entrance commemorates this event and the Royal Navy holds annual dedication ceremonies on the site. The youngest victim of the bombing was 17 year old Archibald Hay, and the library café is named in honour of this young victim of war. Although it was empty from 1983 and seemingly without function, the last 9 years have seen the building take on a new lease of life and it is now full of people again, as it was during its naval heyday. The building is still very much part of the local community with ex-servicemen and members of the public visiting regularly. A history of collaboration and stock mergers existed well before the creation of the Drill Hall Library and the Universities at Medway concept. In 1996 the incumbent collection of the Natural Resources Institute (NRI) was merged with incoming stock from the University of Greenwich Schools of Science and Engineering.

  • Than the Sum of Our Parts
    More than the sum of our parts How three universities share the Drill Hall Library Drill Hall Library exterior – the library is reputedly the longest in Western Europe The question I get asked most often about the Drill Hall Library is: ‘Doesn’t it get really complicated with three universities involved?’ and the answer is Dave Puplett honestly and simply: ‘Yes’. Drill Hall Library Manager [email protected] ...But I always follow up by suggesting that because every library is an economy of scale, and because every librarian is trained to find a way to put people in touch with information, the library staff at the Drill Hall just rise to the challenge. Perhaps we’re now taking it for granted; ten years ago, when the library opened, it was a bold step into uncharted waters, but now it’s an integral part of three universities’ worlds. At the Medway towns in North Kent there is a university campus for around 7,000 students who belong to the University of Greenwich, the University of Kent or Canterbury Christ Church University. The three universities share the overall location, but carefully arrange they to avoid undue academic overlap or competition. They mostly use their own offices, teaching spaces, labs, car parks, ID cards and systems. There are, however, some areas of deeper integration and the jewel in the partnership crown is undoubtedly the Drill Hall Library. Students and staff from all three universities share the Drill Hall, in the same way that students at the University of London share Senate House Library.
