Designed using natural light to create an uplifting environment for learning and networking, The Crausaz Wordsworth Building uses imaginative interior finishes reflecting Cambridge College traditions along with high specification technology throughout the building with in-house support. Set in our beautiful gardens with terrace views bringing the outside in, the building lends itself equally well to meetings, events, private dinners and drinks receptions.
 

Plenary Room

Fully air-conditioned, this flat-floored space 15m x 16m with 3m (3m at the edge rising to 8m in the middle) high ceiling, is a multi-functional space designed to accommodate delegates in cabaret (72 delegates), classroom (80 delegates) or u-shape (64 delegates) styles. It is ideal for plenary conference sessions and lectures, but can also be used for exhibitions, poster sessions or as a dining area.
 

It is fitted with very high specification audio visual equipment including a high definition DLP Laser projector and DNP SuperNova Infinity screen providing excellent image quality from any position within the room.  A full surround sound system supports voice re-enforcement with wireless and wired microphones and incorporates Hearing assistance.  Content may also be distributed to other spaces within the building as required.  An experienced AV Technician is also always on hand to support organisers and speakers. 

The Plenary Room is a wonderfully light and airy room benefiting from a high ceiling and full length windows to the west overlooking the garden and lends itself beautifully for dining events.

Organisers are able to book the building as a stand-alone unit for single client use, or for residential and non-residential conferences in conjunction with other facilities within the College.

 

Foyer area

A bright, spacious and welcoming foyer with a refreshment and bar area adjacent to the main Plenary Room. The foyer area is 15m x 8.3m, floor to ceiling height is 3m, 3.3m in the recess. The Foyer benefits from background audio facilities and display screens offering signage services, freeview TV, or also displaying the content from the plenary space.  A zoned paging system for the plenary, foyer, and syndicate rooms is also available within the foyer area.

This is an ideal area for registration for your conference or event and in addition, lends itself very well for tea and coffee breaks and stand up finger food or bowl food lunches whilst enabling a conducive atmosphere for networking with colleagues and peers.

Syndicate rooms

To enable breakout sessions in conjunction with use of the main Plenary Room, three syndicate rooms are available on the first floor. Individual breakout rooms offer seating for 18 cabaret style, 16 classroom style or u-shape or 18 boardroom style.

Each room has moveable sound proof partitions enabling a number of configurations and if required all three rooms can be available as one large space which can be set for cabaret (60 delegates), classroom (72 delegates), u-shape (38 delegates) or a hollow square for up to 44 delegates.

Each syndicate room is fitted with very high specification audio visual equipment including a high definition solid state projection and audio system, incorporating hearing assistance. The audio visual in each room may be joined to create larger contiguous spaces as required.  The rooms can display local content or take a feed from the Plenary Room.

Two wireless microphones provide voice re-enforcement for when the rooms are joined.
