Workshop Space

The WORKSHOP SPACE is a multipurpose room located on the first floor in the left hallway in the last room on the left. The room is accessible at ground level, making it easy to reach for visitors with limited mobility, and the first floor is accessible via an elevator which can be operated upon request. This versatile space is designed for a variety of interactive workshop formats. Depending on the session’s needs, the space can be arranged with conference seating for up to 50 people, table and chair setups for workshops, or standing-height tables for more informal gatherings, while the default setting is conference seating. The room benefits from natural daylight, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere.
