University of Hertfordshire: SPV Management

Vercity provides the Management Agreement Services (MSA) to the project company, Ellenbrook Developments Ltd, on the Hatfield de Havilland Campus accommodation and the Sports Village. Both facilities contribute to a positive student experience at the University of Hertfordshire.

Process

In 2017, Carillion exited the project and facilities management is now delivered by Pinnacle. Through careful planning and evaluation, our strategic asset management supports the delivery excellent services in the residential accommodation and Sports Village facilities. In developing tailored action plans, we identify where value can be added and where investment is required to achieve outcomes.

The Result

In August 2003, the Sports Village was completed. In September of the same year, the residential accommodation blocks were completed and, to this day, both facilities contribute to a positive student experience at the University of Hertfordshire. In 2014, the Sports Village gym was extended. The Hatfield de Havilland Campus accommodation includes eleven purpose-built halls made up of 144 self-contained flats and 1600 bed spaces. The flats are made up of single study bedrooms with ensuite shower rooms, fridges, and network points, with a shared kitchen/common room. Each flat accommodates an average of eleven students.

The facilities are used by England Squash, England Golf, England Netball, England Women’s Rugby, Women’s FA, Saracens Mavericks, Arsenal Women’s FC, Saracen’s Ladies and Wasps Netball.
