About this space

A high-ceilinged Neo-Gothic chamber finished in dark timber panelling and tall arched windows that flood the space with daylight and give the room a formal, institutional character.

Room features: An installed projector and an integrated PA system provide AV support for projected visuals and amplified speech. Air conditioning maintains a controlled temperature during events.

Best for: Formal debates, panel discussions and lectures that require a single focal point and an audience-facing format.

What sets it apart: Original semi-circular fixed wooden benches set in concentric tiers form a traditional council-chamber layout.
