Its close proximity to the major lecture theatres and media facilities within the Checkland Building sees the space used throughout the day and late into the evenings.
Beyond the Asa Briggs lecture theatre, to the rear of the building, there is access to a grassed are which is not efficiently used. By redirecting university users to enter through the rear of the building the circulation around the lower levels of Checkland could be dramatically improved.
