Planning optimised various criteria including numbers to be accommodated; view lines; and capability for user interaction. Rows of seats run down the long axis so that the height between tiers can be maximised. This, coupled with the offset lectern, enables a clear view of the screen from all seats. The curve in the seating arrangement was designed to foster interaction within the audience. There is provision for wheelchair users plus some overflow seating.
The space incorporates an
array of audio-visual teaching aids, with visualiser, computer
and video projected onto a screen which rolls down in front of
the white board at the touch of a button. Equipment is built into
the compact jellybean shaped lectern, with controls close to hand
to enable smooth flowing presentation.
