WHAT IS ULIVING@HERTFORDSHIRE In May 2013, Uliving@Hertfordshire plc achieved final agreement with the University for the College Lane Residences Project. The project was the cornerstone of the University’s ‘2020 Estates Vision’, a plan that saw the University invest significantly in its College Lane Campus; enhancing the student experience through the creation of new student accommodation, investing in academic facilities and securing landmark sustainability benefits in the process. The University, and more specifically College Lane Campus, was faced with two key issues: • There was not enough on-campus accommodation; and • The existing accommodation was of a poor quality, and the University was below the sector average for the condition and suitability of its residential estate As a result, in July 2013 the design, build & refurbishment, finance and operation (50 year concession) of 3,011 student rooms, common rooms, central hub, sports pitches and gym began. This design achieved BREEAM Outstanding following construction and a low carbon approach to power and energy generation through an onsite CHP.
MISSION The mission of Uliving@ Hertfordshire is to provide the best campus life experience in the sector. From inception, enhancing the student experience has always been a key requirement for the project. The incorporation of availability and supply or demand risk for Uliving@ Hertfordshire puts the achievement of a great campus life experience at the centre of its success.
