All bookings for the three spaces are moderated by the Venue Management team.  Contact the Community Engagement team to discuss options, availability and to proceed to booking a room. 

Building access:

The meeting rooms within the Invention Rooms are in the Interaction Zone and access to the venue is via Door B. The venue is open for programmed events and booked meetings only, outside of this a special appointment to see the spaces is required.

There will be a Duty Manager from the Community Engagement team in the venue throughout the meeting. Meeting organisers are responsible for ensuring that the Duty Manager is aware of all aspects of the booking, and any deliveries made will need to be organised in advance to ensure receipt.
