I suspect they moved a lot of the "election hub" equipment from Elstree to BBC Broadcasting House - BBC downsizing and also, the era of huge studios for general elections are now long gone
ITV News showed the BBC, you didn't need to have a massive 10,000 Sq Ft studio filled with a massive set, to bring a good election night broadcast, as ITV News since the 2005 general election have used their regular basement studio for general elections, with a little help now and again from their atrium.
