Royal Veterinary College Student Village : Hatfield Building

Hatfield Development, Hertfordshire, south east England, UK - design by Hawkins\Brown

29 Jun 2012 Royal Veterinary College Student Village Hatfield Design: Hawkins\Brown RIBA Awards 2012 Citation: Royal Veterinary College Student Village Architecturally the buildings embody the concept of sharing in a variety of ways. They thus celebrate not only economy but the spirit of education, which best derives from spontaneous meetings, interaction, and gathering. The arrangement of the eight dormitory buildings creates a series of shared vistas and shared green commons across the site, spaced out enough so as not to steal light from each other. Every room has east and west aspects. For every group of six dormitory rooms, there is a shared communal room and kitchenette. Diverse cladding materials - brick, timber, punched aluminium – are well-detailed and constructed, resulting in visual coherence. Repetition of the same building modules achieves economy without monotony, as each of the courtyards has different orientations and therefore vistas. pictures : Tim Crocker Royal Veterinary College Student Village - RIBA Awards winner, 2012 Royal Veterinary College Student Village - Building Information Location: Confidential Architect: Hawkins\Brown Client: Royal Veterinary College Contractor: Morgan Sindall Structural Engineer: Elliot Wood Partnership Services Engineer: Max Fordham Contract Value: confidential Date of completion: Jan 2011 Gross internal area: 6,427 sqm Chair of Jury: Anna Liu Regional representative: Roger Shrimplin Lay assessor: Matt Jones Royal Veterinary College Student Village Hatfield images / information from RIBA Hawkins\Brown
