About this space

The Atrium is an Event Space in the Informatics Forum, a double-height glass-fronted space that fills the interior with abundant natural daylight.

Design: The space has an open-plan footprint, stone-effect tiled flooring and plain white walls punctuated by timber panelling at the entrance. The ceiling is tall with pendant fixtures and the furniture is modular café-style to allow flexible layouts.

Features: The space includes a PA system and speakers, venue Wi‑Fi and movable round tables and chairs that can be rearranged. The space has a step‑free guest entrance and accessible toilets to support wheelchair access.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a relaxed, social standing reception or an informal seated workshop where flexible furniture and an open plan are useful.

What guests say: The space has good facilities and an impressive vertical scale.
