| | Main auditorium | | The main auditorium will have a capacity of around 700 standing without the stage extended, 600 standing with the stage and a seated capacity of around 250. There's also a balcony with space for a further 85 people. This flexibility will make it ideal for a range of performances including bands, DJs, dance and drama. A powerful PA and comprehensive lighting rig will be built in and the auiditorium's acoustics have been a prime design consideration. Note that anyone can hire the hall; it's not just for arty types! | | | Cinema | | The cinema will have a seated capacity of around 160 with space for wheelchairs, and will feature digital projectors and surround sound. The cinema will also act as a multi media performance area. | | | Recording studio | | The much needed recording studio will include live rooms suitable for recording a variety of groups and bands, and a control room kitted out with the latest digital recording equipment. | | | Rehearsal areas | | Mareel will have areas for a range of rehearsal uses including bands, DJs and drama groups. The sprung floors will make it suitable for dance groups too. | | | Multi media production suite | | A well specified multi media production suite will be provided for film, TV, web design, animation, digital arts and music production. | | | Education facilities | | Mareel has been designed with education in mind: the cinema can be used as a lecture theatre, the recording studio has a large control room to accommodate music technology students, the PA and lighting rig can be used to train event production students in situ, the multi media suite is suitable for training and there is a dedicated 30 seat teaching room/ 2nd cinema screen. Mareel will be one of the few facilities in the UK to offer 'on the job' training in a working venue! | | | Cafe bar | | The split level cafe bar will offer a range of food and drink, with free Internet access and Wi Fi. Just the job for recharging your batteries and nights on the razz. A second floor development will incorporate designated education spaces and possibly small start-up units for creative industries | |
