Wentworth Graduate Common Room

Located in room B/R/016, the Wentworth Graduate Common Room is open 24 hours a day to all Wentworth members. Inside you’ll find free tea and coffee facilities: comfy sofas, a dining area, board games, a dishwasher, sink, fridge, microwave and a hot water boiler. It’s also the area that the College Team use as a kitchen space.

During the day on weekdays (9am to 6pm) the common room is a comfy space, suitable for quieter socialising, study, refreshments and informal meetings. Noisier activities are not available for use at these times.

In the evenings and weekends the common room can be used for noisier activities so is perfect for getting together for a few games and socialising. In the evenings and weekends you can use the table tennis table, electronic pianos without headphones, electronic drums, and AV equipment.

B/R/016 is not a bookable space. Off-campus students can register for out-of-hours facilities access.
