About The Hive

The Hive is a pioneering combined university and public library built under PFI and opened in 2012. It brings together the University of Worcester, the County Council library and archive service and the County Council Archaeological Service. Its award-winning, innovative design leads the way in environmental efficiency.

About Bellrock Services

Bellrock has been the total facilities management provider since the building was completed, delivering a range of services from a 24/7/365 service centre to maintenance, cleaning, reading café and coffee bar and grounds maintenance services. Performance levels are constantly measured utilising our bespoke Concerto operating platform and the dedicated on-site facilities team work seamlessly with our customer.

By working together we have created better ways to operate the building, optimising opening hours and staffing levels, whilst efficiencies have been delivered by multi-skilling the on-site teams, delivering a world-class learning environment for the students and the residents of Worcester.
