It received a Silver rating in the UK government's Teaching Excellence Framework.
context_section_description: Avery Hill Campus comprises two sites, Mansion and Southwood. Both are situated in the 86-acre Avery Hill Park in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, south-east London. 
  The campus is home to the Faculty of Education & Health. Facilities include computer laboratories, a library and a TV studio, as well as a sports and teaching centre with a sports hall and 220-seat lecture theatre. Southwood site also has clinical skills laboratories. These replicate NHS wards, enabling trainee health professionals to gain hands-on experience. The village complex provides student accommodation, a general shop and a launderette. The Dome, in the centre of the complex, houses a food outlet and gym. Rugby, football, indoor pitches, netball and tennis courts, and a dance studio are on Avery Hill campus. 
  The facility, which was built by Wimpey Construction under a PFI contract, was completed in 1996.
  The Winter Garden, the centre-piece of the Mansion site, has been allowed to fall into neglect and is on Historic England's 'At Risk' Register. A campaign to restore the Winter Garden is putting pressure on the University and Greenwich Council to ensure its future.
