The project was twofold. Firstly the existing claustrophobic low-ceilinged conference room required an upgrade to modern conference level quality. We discovered that above the low 2.4m high ceiling was a vast ceiling void filled with ventilation ductwork and plant. A large central portion of the area was opened up with new glazed rooflights incorporated to transform the dark enclosed atmosphere into an open, light inviting space. The facility to blackout-blind the rooflights was included for presentations and a full new state of the art integrated AV system was included. The main area was fully refurbished with new timber flooring and movable sliding walls to sub-divide the space for separate functions.

The second aspect was a full refurbishment of the centres cafe facilities including the main seating area and a full refit of the kitchen equipment in conjunction with specialist catering equipment suppliers.
