Central Hall refurbishment
As the flagship building at the heart of the University, bringing Central Hall up to date with a series of refurbishments was key to ensuring it would stay fit for purpose for years to come.
The aim of the project was to provide a multi-use, flexible space offering enhanced facilities for a wide range of users as well as improving accessibility.
The work involved:
- Tailoring the auditorium to allow teaching of large cohorts of up to 500 students.
- Enhancing the space so more student events and performances, as well as graduation and open days, are able to take place with both audiences and performers accommodated much more comfortably.
- Improving accessibility throughout the building including replacing the lift
- Enhancing the external area
- Full refurbishment/replacement of electrical and mechanical systems as well as installing new windows to make the building more pleasant in all weathers.
