LAYOUT The Auditorium is a large lecture theatre, with projected screens at the front (‘the stage’) and rows of tiered seating for the audience. SEATING Most of the seating is accessed via steps between rows of seats. The front row is on the ground level; this is reserved for people with mobility aids or anyone who needs a step-free seat, and their companions. Some of the spots in the front row have no seat, only room for a wheelchair. Some have seats installed, but the seats can be stowed away.
