Other meeting spaces

This is a large space, with a kiva-style seating area, cushions, and can also be divided into smaller spaces by closing folding doors. This space is generally available on Mondays and Tuesdays, most evenings, and other days by arrangement with staff in the Children's Services.
A small training room is also available for groups of up to 20. Wireless internet and an interactive whiteboard/data projector are available in this space.
