The ground floor areas are open and available to the public, with a
seminar/meeting room (100 seats) that can be used for events. The
second floor features a central social space where staff and research
students can work together on an informal basis. This central
area can also serve as a setting for formal dinners, fundraisers,
presentations, or special announcements. Adjacent breakout rooms
with videoconferencing facilities will allow group discussions and
wider collaboration. The third floor houses additional office space
and is open to the floors below.
