About this space

A steeply raked auditorium with curved seating and a raised stage beneath a high ceiling fitted with acoustic baffles; the interior uses low-reflectance finishes and is lit entirely by controllable artificial lighting rather than natural daylight.

Room features: The in-house PA and speaker system provides reinforced sound; the space also offers Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and wheelchair access.

Best for: Film screenings, presentations and panel events, and filmed shoots that require an auditorium setting.

What sets it apart: A permanent large projection screen built into the proscenium provides cinema-standard screening capability.
