The 'Bender' and master plan diagram:
Auditorium & Conference Centre main spaces, circulation, main walls:
Sectional sketch:
The auditorium/conference centre is positioned directly opposite the library and next to The School of Sustainable Design within the masterplan. The triangular footprint has first surfaced within group masterplan stages 1.1 and 1.2 .
These schemes integrated both School of Susstainable Design and iIndustrial Design schools to combine public spaces and promote a walkthrough access to main functions such as the libraray and the auditorium, from the direct path of 'the Bender'.
The North entrance foyer can also be accessed from the south side of the building , from 'the Bender'. This void is an interesting space where people visit reception - bar - conference rooms 1, 2, or 3 - or enter the auditorium space one ground level. Stairs that run over the reception area, give access to the first floor conference area and first floor seat allocation. This first and second floors are also serviced by a lift located on the south side.
The Auditorium has 3 levels of seating. The ground floor seats is 322 people - first floor seats 184 people - second floor seats 92 people. The interior walls are slightly curved as seen on the outside and allow passageway for gound floor auditorium users on the north and south of the building. There are three openings to the auditorium space integrated into each corridor that services the oval auditorium space.

Five bowstring truss span 6 metres apart to allow the dome to span onto the curved concrete walls that form the space of the auditorium. There is a fly-space above the whole stage, and a lower stage. The conference centre component of the building may weaken the shape of the building but did provide this facility and continue the main footprint from masterplan 1.2.
