Room measurements: * Length 7.5 m (incl doors) * Width 4.1 m * Height 3 m The room is entered via the library foyer and two museum rooms. The room has two exit doors: one unused, the other leading to the Council offices and potentially disabled access. Two windows with central heating radiators beneath them are on the N and E external walls. Electrics: 3 double sockets on 2 walls (N and E), 1 double socket in centre of floor Lighting: Central hanging rail of spotlights Disabled access required as thoroughfare.
