Joined up thinking: How the hive delivers a shared vision between a university and county council for the benefit of the wider community - Highly Commended

The Hive is Europe’s first fully integrated, jointly funded university and public library in a £60m landmark BREEAM ‘outstanding’ building within a city regeneration zone.

It is an innovative partnership between the University of Worcester and Worcestershire County Council bringing together books, documents, archives, digital technology and services from both organisations. It also houses one of the country’s largest children’s libraries, council customer services, meeting rooms, study areas and a café.
