About the University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield Campus
The University of Hertfordshire spans two main sites in Hatfield: College Lane and de Havilland. Both sit within the AL10 postcode, close to Hatfield town centre and a short drive from the A1(M). The university has roughly 27,000 students, making move-in and move-out weekends among the busiest periods in the local area.
College Lane is the older site, home to the business school, law, humanities, and the main library. De Havilland, opened in 2003, hosts aerospace and engineering, the Forum entertainment complex, and the majority of the on-campus accommodation blocks.
Student accommodation spans both campuses. College Lane has Hutton Hub, Meridian House, and Telford House. De Havilland has the International Study Centre and further halls. Off-campus, students rent heavily in Hatfield itself, Welwyn Garden City, St Albans, and Hemel Hempstead.
Giant Van covers all of these areas. If you are moving into a first-year hall on de Havilland or relocating from a shared house on Cavendish Road to a new place in St Albans, we know these routes well. We time arrivals to avoid the narrow access lanes around College Lane during peak periods, and we know exactly where loading bays sit on de Havilland. Local knowledge matters when you are on a tight schedule.
Student Removal Services We Offer
Giant Van offers a full range of removal services built around the student moving calendar.
You do not need to book a full house removal. Students travelling light can book a man and a van in Hertfordshire for a couple of hours, and pay only for what they need.
Here is what we cover:
**Man and van hire in Hertfordshire** starting from £45 per hour.
One driver and a transit-size van. Ideal for studio moves, single-room clears, or shifting a few boxes and a bed frame.
**Full student moves** with two or more crew members.
Better for three or four-bedroom shared houses where everyone is moving the same day.
**End-of-term storage collection.** We collect from your room or house at term end and deliver back to your home address, or hold items in our secure facility until next term.
**First-year arrivals.** We collect from your family home and deliver straight to your hall room, saving parents a long round trip.
**Graduation moves.** Moving on after your final year?
We handle moves to London, Manchester, Edinburgh, and anywhere else your career takes you.
We do not use subcontractors.
Every driver is employed directly by Giant Van, fully trained, and DBS-checked. Every load is covered by goods in transit insurance up to £50,000. Track your van in real time using the Giant Van app.

**Hatfield (AL9, AL10):** The home postcode.
We cover all streets around the campus, including Cavendish Road, Bishops Rise, and the private student housing blocks along Mosquito Way.
We know the loading restrictions near the Galleria and the narrow access behind College Lane.

Very popular with second and third-year students for its lower rents and easy rail connections into London.

Halls of Residence and Student Accommodation We Serve
01
Moving in and out of student halls requires a different approach to a standard house removal.
Lift access is often shared, time slots are restricted, and rooms are small. Giant Van drivers know how these moves work.
02
**De Havilland Campus Halls:** The de Havilland accommodation blocks are directly adjacent to the Forum building.
There are managed drop-off bays on Observatory Way. We time arrivals to match university-issued time slots, so you do not lose your slot due to delays.
03
**College Lane Halls (Hutton Hub, Meridian House, Telford House):** Access here runs off College Lane itself.
Parking near the halls is limited during peak move-in periods. We use smaller vehicles for initial access and stage larger items nearby to keep unloading fast.
04
**Hertfordshire International College (HIC):** Located on the College Lane site.
We handle arrivals for international students who need help collecting items from storage or getting set up from day one.
05
**Private student blocks in Hatfield:** Urbanest, Scape, and independent landlord properties around the town centre all have specific check-in procedures.
Our drivers carry ID and are familiar with standard student block protocols.

Tips for a Smooth University of Hertfordshire Move
A few simple steps make a big difference on moving day, especially during the busy September and June rush at the Hatfield campus.
**Book your time slot with the university first.** Both the College Lane and de Havilland halls operate arrival time slots during the September move-in weekend. Secure your slot before you book your removal van. Give us the slot time when you book, and we will build our arrival time around it.
**Dismantle flat-pack furniture the night before.** Ikea beds, shelving, and desk units take up far less van space when flat-packed. Drivers are not required to dismantle furniture. If you want us to do it, let us know at booking and we will allocate extra time.
**Label every box with the destination room.** Even if you are moving into a single room, label boxes clearly. It speeds up unloading and means your driver does not have to ask where everything goes.
**Protect your mattress.** Hallway floors and stairwell banisters can mark a mattress in seconds. Use a mattress bag. We carry them on the van and can provide one on request.
**Check parking restrictions on your street.** Private rental streets around Hatfield and Welwyn Garden City sometimes have permit-only parking during weekday mornings. Check with your landlord or council before the move.
**Pack a day bag separately.** Keep your laptop, charger, important documents, and overnight items in a separate bag you carry yourself. Do not pack them in the van. It avoids a frantic search on arrival when you need to connect to university Wi-Fi immediately.
