College Lane is the main site of University of Hertfordshire.[1] It traces its origin when the de Havilland company was even successful enough to donate a site to Hertfordshire County Council for educational use: the site was then developed as Hatfield Technical College (which was renamed as University of Hertfordshire in 1992), which is now the College Lane campus.
Facilities edit
It houses a learning resource centre, which is considered as among the largest in Britain.[2] It is also the location of The Forum, a £38-million Student Union venue built in 2009, with a capacity of up to 2250 over three rooms.[3] Notable among the buildings in this campus is the university's Learning Resource Centre, a combined library and computer centre.[4] There is also a substantial collection of halls of residence and student houses, and the University of Hertfordshire Students' Union is headquartered at College Lane campus.[5] The College Lane campus is also the location of Hertfordshire International College, which is part of the Navitas group, providing a direct pathway for international students to the University.[6] The Hertfordshire Intensive Care & Emergency Simulation Centre is also located at College Lane.
Future developments edit
Major developments are being done at College Lane including the establishment of a new Science Building, Engineering Building, Senate Building, Teaching Building, Conference Centre and Boulevard.[7]
