Worcestershire Tourist Guide - Articles
The Hive
The building's golden roof has made it one of the most distinctive buildings on the city's skyline. Situated in landscaped surroundings a stone’s throw from the University’s new city campus, the The Hive will bring together a range of exciting services under one amazing roof.
And there is something for everyone...
Library
Housing the University and Public Library services in a fully integrated way with the amazing variety of collections being open to all. Part of the offering is a magical children’s library with spaces to get creative; a Heritage Trail to explore and a huge range of books, CDs and DVDs to enjoy.
History
Over 26,000 records of historic sites and buildings and 12 miles of original documents to discover. The history of Worcestershire from after the last Ice Age to the present day brought to life using the latest technologies.
Hub
The Worcestershire Hub is the first point of contact for council services across Worcestershire. The existing Worcester Customer Service Centre, based in Orchard House on Farrier Street, will relocate to the centre. Visitors will be able to get information and advice about a wide range of council services, either by speaking to one of the Hub’s friendly and experienced advisors or by using public computers and payment kiosks to manage their own enquiry. The Hub will also be working with other agencies to offer on-site surgeries for customers.
University
Students and staff will be able to find a space that suits their study needs from group work to individual silent research. Full wireless coverage and over 250 desk-top computers are available, with experienced staff on-hand to help and advise everyone on using the extensive digital and print resources.
Meet
Situated in a convenient central location with picturesque surroundings the centre makes an ideal place to meet friends and family for a cup of coffee and slice of cake, maybe visiting the exhibitions and events that are taking place whilst there.
Research
From PhDs to a child’s first school project the resources available in the centre will enrich and inform all levels of research activity opening up new avenues and ideas as the individual’s journey of discovery unfolds.
Learning
Learn formally, informally, gain a new skill or just for fun. The ethos at the centre is that learning never stops and there is something for everyone whatever their age or background. WiFi, a quarter of a million books, journals, DVDs and music collections all play their part in making learning truly something for everyone.
THe Hive was officially opened by Her Majesty The Queen in July 2012.
