The refurbed lecture rooms in Torrington Place are sometimes used by CRAE and the Neurodiversity Journal Club.
They are a 4 minute walk from the IOE, past Waterstones, crossing Gower Street and heading down Torrington Place. For those not new to UCL, it is opposite the Malborough.
The 2 lecture rooms (G12 & G13) works for everyone in the room. There’s no raised dais, so the speaker stands at the same level as the audience. Wooden baffling on the walls softens echo and background noise.
Sensory thoughts
- Temperature is usually well regulated
- There is internal sound dampening and a good PA system, so speech stays clear whether you’re in the front row or near the back.
- There is a loop system
- Lighting is quite nice. Soft tones, and adjustable.
- There can be occasional burblings from the aircon
Access
There are some very helpful folk on the reception desk just inside Torrington Place. Do ask them for access if you do not have a card. Tell them you’ve come to see CRAE.
