Chichester Lecture Theatre

Timescale: Completed summer 2006

Project Value: £750,000

The Chichester Lecture Theatre is the largest on campus, with a seating capacity of 350. It was comprehensively refurbished with new seating and lighting, decoration and audiovisual equipment. The ventilation system was also upgraded. The refurbishment extended to the lobby area, providing a break-out space, and to the adjacent facilities.

As the building is Grade II listed, the work had to be carried out in consultation with English Heritage to ensure the original Spence design features were not compromised.
