The planned reopening of IET London: Savoy Place in central London has been postponed as a result of delays encountered in the final stages of the refurbishment project. However when the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) does reopen it will have spent £29.4million on the largest renovation in its history.
Delegates will be swimming in high-tech from the moment they arrive with a vast video wall in reception to welcome them - one of three in the building.
Facilities at IET London: Savoy Place include the ground-floor 451-seater Kelvin Lecture Theatre plus the Maxwell Library on the first floor now with a new digital library and accommodating up to 200 delegates.
New facilities will include the Riverside Room with riverside views and natural daylight from large picture windows. The Riverside Room will seat up to 330 delegates depending on layout and will subdivide into five independent sound-proofed rooms.
The Riverside Room will be equipped with state-of-the-art AV including video conferencing and complimentary wi-fi. The Riverside Room also allows access to the Johnson Roof Terrace overlooking the River Thames and accommodating up to 205 guests for a reception.
IET London - Savoy Place is located just off the Strand in central London, a short walk from Trafalgar Square.
