Actually, it is the upper elevator lobby room (but
we are thinking of re-naming it “The Office”). It
has had a little bit of a face lift and it is MUCH warmer.
It’s a great space for some privacy and drinks with friends and colleagues
and it is just a little more comfortable now. Come and check it out!
