About this space

The room is a rectangular, carpeted space finished in neutral grey and white with low-profile panelling and soft recessed ceiling lighting. Padded conference chairs are arranged in neat rows across an open, column-free floor.

Room features: A projector supports front-of-room presentations, and a whiteboard plus a flipchart allow on-the-spot annotation. Air conditioning maintains a consistent temperature for longer meetings.

Best for: Presentation-led sessions such as conferences, seminars and lectures fit the room's forward-facing layout.

What sets it apart: A small raised platform with a fixed lectern at the front provides a permanent presenter position.
