About this space

Leitch Academic Centre is an Event Space in University College characterised by a neutral academic hall layout and practical finishes.

Design: The space has a neutral, institutional interior featuring carpeted floors, acoustic ceiling panels and a wood‑panel feature wall at one end. Rectangular proportions and unobstructed sightlines give the room a straightforward, functional appearance.

Features: A fixed lectern and integrated PA system support presentations and speeches. University-grade Wi‑Fi and air conditioning are available throughout the room. The room receives natural light, is wheelchair accessible and event furniture including round tables and stackable chairs can be supplied.

Ideal for: Academic departments and professional organisations seeking a practical, structured space for seated dinners or workshop-style sessions.

What sets it apart: The room can be divided by folding partitions to create separate breakout areas for concurrent sessions or smaller groups.

What guests say: The space is light-filled and comfortable for conferences and workshops. The catering and hospitality are generous and staff are responsive to event requests.
