The surroundings
Our five performance venues are located around a large spacious atrium and foyer, accessed by two public entrances and split across three levels connected by a central staircase and lifts. The box office, cloakroom, restaurant and bars are all located in this area. Views looking out over the campus make these spaces ideal for people to gather for drinks and food before and during the intervals of events. HD screens and speakers are located throughout the foyer area for announcements and show relay from the venues, or for background music to be played.
